Equipment
- 1 Small pot
- Set of Gummy Molds I like to use fish shapes for this! Also: You may want a dedicated mold when doing licorice flavour, it can permeate the silicone.
- Dropper
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup Sweetener I used granulated allulose
- 4 scoops Collagen Peptides
- ⅓ cup Unflavored Gelatin
- 2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Cold Water
- Black Gel food colouring
- 1 ½ teaspoon Lorann Licorice Flavor Oil black or red
- ½ teaspoon Citric Acid
Instructions
- In a small pot, whisk together the sweetener, collagen, gelatin, and salt. Be sure to FULLY combine it, or you’ll end up with lumps.
- Add water, whisk to combine. Add black food colouring until it reaches the desired intensity.
- Heat over medium heat, until everything is smooth and dissolved.
- Remove from heat. Add flavour oil and citric acid, stir well to dissolve.
- Working quickly, pour mixture into clean gummy molds. (You can use an eye dropper, but it’s way fussier and sets really fast!)
- Allow gummies to set - it'll take an hour or so at room temperature, or 10-15 minutes if refrigerated.
- I like to allow it to gel a bit - about 10 minutes - at room temperature before chilling. It lowers the chances of a messy spill when transferring to the fridge!
- Once set, pop candies out of the mold and transfer to an airtight container or zipper baggie.
Notes
Will keep for a few days at room temperature, and a week or so if refrigerated.
The carbohydrates from this recipe are entirely from the sugar alcohols in the sweetener - it's a 0 net carb treat!
