SUGAR-FREE GUMMY BEARS
Have you tried gummy bears at home?
We have. Few times.
But I was never happy because it was either with sugar-free Jelly or it just did not taste the best.
Then one day we have decided to purchase the silicon forms. This kind of pushed me to come up with the best and the healthiest low carb recipe one can have. We have tried and tried and Bingo.
The best recipe was born.
We even made a live video on Facebook, where Sophie did it all by herself, just to show that it is not that difficult as it seems. I would suggest to do it with your kids as it is a perfect way of activity they will enjoy.
For coloring, we used different types of teas. To sweeten things up, we have used stevia tablets, which are perfect for hot dishes. And since you have to use hot water for gelatine, those tablets became handy.
One point though. Eat them as fast as you can, since they are all made with fresh ingredients and will not last long. I have kept them in the fridge once for few days and O my. Not anymore.
Maybe they can be kept in the freezer, but so far had no chance trying, since they are always gone before you can think of storing them. Apart from that one time.
And the video for you to see how easy it is:
And one more when Sophie did it all on her own
You can experiment with different types of teas to get the flavor and the color as well.
The best recipe ever is here:
Sugar-Free Gummy Bears
Print ThisIngredients
- 1 Pkt Gelatine sheets (20g)
- 140ml Hot water (1/2 Cup)
- 2 tsp Lemon juice
- 4 Stevia tablets
- Variety of teas:
- Orange - Camomile Tea
- Red - Hibiscus Tea
- Green - Matcha Tea
- Purple - Blueberry tea
Instructions
- Place hot water in the cup
- Add tea to your preference
- Slowly one by one keep adding gelatine sheets and mix
- Add lemon juice and stevia tablets
- Mix everything properly and make sure all is dissolved
- For Hibiscus I would suggest minimum amount of lemon since the tea itself is sour
- For Matcha tea, I would suggest adding more lemon and stevia to break the bitterness
- Once everything is dissolved, slowly pure it into silicon molds and either leave it to harden in the fridge, or for quick results, keep it in the freezer for approximately 10 Minutes
- Enjoy

I have liquid Stevia and powdered Stevia, can I use these in place of the tabs? What would be the equivalency?
Dear Linda,
You can definitely change the sweetener, but with stevia, you would have to experiment since they all have a different sweetness. Just with the liquid one, take the same amount of water away.

How many gelatine sheets per 1/2 cup water? The instructions are unclear. Thank you.
Dear Lisa,
A packet has got 20g of gelatine sheets, which is 5 pieces. If you want, you can also use a normal gelatine powder, just make sure it is 20g. Hope that helps.
