Real Chewy & Bouncy Keto Gummy Candy

The first in hopefully many chewy keto candy recipes. I can't wait to see what else I can come up with. They are so bouncy, stretchy and chewy just like a regular gummy bears or worms. With just allulose, gelatin and a concentrated flavor water drops you have endless possibilities.





Super easy recipe, there are just a few pieces of equipment that will be helpful. I went the simplest route possible by getting molds that came with droppers and using heat safe containers for placing the mixture into the water bath. The items that I used are from Amazon and the links for them are listed below. I also purchased a pack of Stur water drops from Amazon. I liked most of the flavors and they worked great for flavoring the gummies. I'm sure any of your favorite water flavor enhancers will work, you may however need to add extra liquid sweetener if it's not sweet or flavorful enough. Sweetness will bring out flavor so you may want to taste the mixture before it sets and adjust if needed. Just be aware that the sweetness and flavor level will be reduced when cooled completely to room temperature.


The only low glycemic sweetener that I have found that will work for this recipe is allulose. Most other sweeteners I've tried will crystallize when heated and cooled. I have a love/hate relationship with allulose, it acts like regular sugar most of the time, but in some ways it doesn't and this can be frustrating. But it works great for this recipe. When working with allulose the amount of water used and the size of the pot are two important factors that will have an influence on the final outcome. I never use a tiny pot even if I'm only cooking a small amount of allulose. If the volume of water and allulose is too deep in your pot, it won't reach the desired temperature before it starts to turn a brown caramel color. You only need a small amount of water, just enough to moisten the allulose. For this part I definitely recommend using a laser thermometer as it will make it easier to gauge the temperature of the allulose as it heats.


The last ingredient is beef gelatin, I buy NOW brand beef gelatin. My understanding is that gelatins can have different strengths. I have even had difficulty in my pudding recipes with some brands of gelatin not setting properly. I recommend using beef gelatin for this recipe, instead of Knox gelatin which is made from pork. It will probably still set okay because of the large amount of gelatin in the recipe but the texture may be a bit different than mine.


Then there are some optional ingredients that can enhance the gummy candy but are definitely optional. Citric Acid or true lemon packets can be added, they are a good to add some flavor as well. I did end up buying candy flavor drops that I used with the one water drop that wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked, but this is optional. The last thing I added was some natural dyes to enhance the color of the gummies. I used Watkins natural dyes and they worked well to achieve some pretty colors.

Keto Gummy Candy- Makes 2-4 Flavors, I make two batches and 4 flavors in the video here- https://youtu.be/-JzYYlBG2AI


210g Allulose (Powdered about 2 cups, granular about 1 1/2 Cups)

2 Tbs. Water to moisten

6 Tbs./60g Beef Gelatin

1/2 Cup Cold Water

2-4 kinds of Flavored Water Drops


Extra Optional Ingredients

Liquid Stevia (or any liquid sweetener, to taste)

Candy Flavoring

True Lemon/Citric Acid

Food Coloring


Instructions:


  1. Place a shallow pan of water over low heat to keep the gummy mixture warm while filling the molds. Then place allulose and 2 Tbs. water in a medium sized sauce pot over low heat

  2. Place the gummy molds onto one or two sheet trays, this recipe makes roughly 350ml of liquid and most bear and worm molds hold 1-5ml for each cavity, have a glass measuring cup, 2 or 4 heat proof containers and a dropper for each container ready

  3. Continue cooking the allulose, swirling the pot to cook evenly, do not let it go above 280 degree so keep an eye on it as you are getting everything else ready, I like to use a laser thermometer to continuously swirl and take the temp hovering the mixture over the burner

  4. Measure out the gelatin into a medium bowl, have a spatula ready and pour the cold water into the gelatin and mix well until thick and evenly solidified, have your flavor drops, measuring spoons, and any extra ingredients you are planning to add ready

  5. Once the allulose is 280 degrees, remove from the heat, add in the solidified gelatin and stir until melted

  6. Divide evenly into 2 heat proof containers and place them into the pan of warm water, add 1 tablespoon of flavor water drops to each, if you want to make 4 flavors, divide into 4 containers and add 1/2 Tbs. of the flavor drops and stir

  7. Stir in any additions like food coloring, citric acid, candy flavoring or more sweetness, you can taste for flavor and sweetness but keep in mind that flavor and sweetness will be dulled when solidified and cooled

  8. Once you are happy with the flavor, let the mixture set until there is a layer of foam on top, you can skim that off, or do not stir and use the dropper to suck up the mixture from the bottom of the container to fill the molds

  9. Let set for a half hour to an hour then release the gummies out of the molds onto a sheet tray. You can eat them right away or store them. I prefer the texture after one day of open air drying and then placing them into an airtight container for storage


Macros will depend on the add-ins, how many you make and flavor drops you use. Using the Stur flavor drops makes the whole batch 12g of carbs so whatever the carbs are for your add-in, weigh the full amount of gummies and divide by how many serving you want.
