Homemade Vegan Gummies
You won't believe just how easy it is to make your own Vegan Gummies. These are great if love gummies but struggle to find gelatin-free options, or if you want a healthier option. They're also perfect for kids and really fun to make with them too. They're made with agar-agar powder which is a natural vegetarian and vegan gelling agent, I get mine from Amazon, I have linked it below!
Equipment
- 2 Silicone Gummy Molds I have linked the ones I used above
- 1-2 Droppers These usually come with the gummy mold, mine did! You can also use a Calpol Syringe!
Ingredients
- 250 ml juice of choice (if you want to make watermelon juice, simply blend up the flesh of a watermelon!)
- 1-2 tbsp sweetener, to taste such as sugar, maple syrup or agave syrup
- 2 tsp agar-agar powder I've linked the one I use above
- 1/2 lemon or lime, juiced Optional, adds a slight 'sour' flavour
Instructions
- Add your juice, agar-agar powder and sweetener to a small sauce-pan and heat over a medium heat, whisking often, until boiling. Reduce and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the lemon or lime juice, if using.
- Set the mixture aside to cool for 5 minutes (it can help to transfer to a bowl to speed up the process).
- Place your gummy molds onto flat plates. Using the dropper, drop the mixture into the molds until they're all filled up. Place in the fridge to set for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the molds and enjoy!
