Vegan Gummy Bears
Easy to make vegan gummy bears with fresh fruit juice and agar powder. Low sugar snack and perfect treat for all.
Equipment
- gummy bear mould optional or use ice cube trays or similar
Ingredients
- 150 ml fruit juice 2/3 cups
- 1 1/2 teaspoon agar powder or other vegan setting agent
- sugar syrup optional - see recipe write up
- spice optional - see recipe write up
- salt optional - see recipe write up
- lemon juice optional - see recipe write up
Instructions
- Measure out the fruit juice of your choice into a smaller saucepan and add the agar powder. If using sugar add it now.
- Place the saucepan on very low heat and let the agar dissolve slowly. If using granulated sugar, make sure that's dissolved too before the next stage.
- Taste the fruit juice mixture and add any extra ingredients - such as lemon juice, any spices, salt etc.
- Bring the saucepan to a boil and carry on boiling for 5 minutes, whilst stirring slowly but constantly.
- Take the saucepan from the hob and pour into your moulds (or use a small pipet to fill the gummy bears). Make sure that you have your gummy bears (or any silicone moulds) on a firm tray first, so that you can move them without bending afterwards.
- Place the vegan gummy bears moulds into the fridge for a minimum of 15 minutes or until the gummy bears are set.
- Take from the moulds and keep in an airtight container for 1-4 weeks.
