HOW TO MAKE VEGAN GUMMY BEARS (Step-by-Step)

STEP 1: PREPARE THE SILICONE MOLDS

  • Clean the silicone molds and a dropper thoroughly (wipe them dry) to ensure they are free of dust or dirt.

STEP 2: PREPARE THE DIFFERENT FLAVORED/COLORED VEGAN GUMMIES MIXTURE

  • Work in separate bowls for each desired flavor/color.
  • In each bowl, combine:
    • The Fruit Juice (1/2 cup per batch).
    • The Agar-Agar Powder (2 teaspoons per batch).
    • The Sweetener of choice (optional, to taste).
    • Any extra Fruit/Superfood Powder (based on color/flavor list above).
  • Whisk each mixture thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are well combined.

STEP 3: HEAT THE AGAR AGAR GUMMIES MIXTURE

  • Transfer the mixture to a small pot or pan (do this one flavor/color batch at a time).
  • Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Immediately reduce the heat and simmer for five minutes, stirring frequently.
    • Crucial Note: This step is necessary to fully activate the agar agar powder.
  • The mixture should slightly thicken, becoming syrup-like in consistency (but not as thick as golden syrup or honey).

STEP 4: TRANSFER TO THE MOLDS AND ALLOW IT TO SET

  • Using a dropper (or a small spoon), carefully fill the silicone molds with the hot mixture.
  • Allow the vegan gummies to set. They typically set at room temperature in about 20 minutes (setting time may vary based on the juice used).
  • For faster setting, you can place the filled molds in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes.
  • Once firm, pop them out and enjoy!
