These Sugar Free Gummy Bears are a healthy and delicious treat made with only 3 simple ingredients: fresh strawberries, unflavored gelatin, and a natural monk fruit sweetener. Naturally fruity and free from added sugars, these homemade gummy bears are perfect for a guilt-free snack or a fun dessert option. Using gelatin gives them the ideal chewy texture, and the recipe requires no artificial flavors or colors.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Mixture

  • 12 oz Strawberries (quartered)
  • 1/4 cup Water

Gelatin Blend

  • 2 tbsp Unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1/2 cup Water (for blooming gelatin)

Sweetener

  • 1/3 cup Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Cook Strawberries: Combine 1/4 cup water and the quartered strawberries in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring and mashing the berries as they soften to release their juices.
  2. Simmer and Mash: Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the berries for 4 to 7 minutes until they are very soft and falling apart. Use the back of a spoon to mash the berries thoroughly to maximize juice extraction.
  3. Bloom Gelatin: While the berries simmer, pour the remaining 1/2 cup water into a small bowl. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder evenly over the water and whisk immediately to avoid clumps. Set aside to let the gelatin bloom and absorb the water for at least 5 minutes.
  4. Strain Berry Juice: Line a fine mesh sieve with a jelly bag or nut milk bag and place it over a bowl. Pour the softened berry mixture through the sieve, pressing with a spoon or spatula to extract as much juice as possible. Measure out 3/4 cup of the strained juice; if you have less, add water to reach the 3/4 cup needed.
  5. Dissolve Sweetener: Clean the saucepan and pour the measured berry juice back into it. Heat over medium heat and stir in the Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend until it is fully dissolved. Taste the liquid and adjust sweetness by adding more sweetener if desired.
  6. Add Bloomed Gelatin: Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the bloomed gelatin mixture and continue to heat while stirring for about 2 minutes until the gelatin completely dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
  7. Fill Molds: Using a dropper, carefully fill silicone gummy bear molds with the gelatin mixture. Work quickly as the gelatin will start to set.
  8. Refrigerate to Set: Place the filled molds in the refrigerator and chill for about 2 hours or until the gummy bears are firm and fully set. Remove molds one at a time to pop out the gummy bears. Keeping molds cold helps ease removal and prevents the gummies from sticking.
  9. Storage: Store the gummy bears in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure to bloom the gelatin properly to avoid lumps in the gummy mixture.
  • Adjust sweetness according to your preference by adding more monk fruit sweetener if desired.
  • If you can’t find Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend, you can substitute with a similar monk fruit and allulose blend or a low glycemic sweetener.
  • These gummies should be kept refrigerated to maintain their texture and freshness.
  • You can experiment with other fruit juices or purees for different flavors.
  • Use silicone molds designed specifically for gummy candies for best results and easy removal.
