Homemade Sugar-Free Gummy Bears
To get started, gather your ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup fruit juice (choose your favorite flavor)
- 2 tablespoons gelatin powder
- 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (like erythritol or stevia, adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for a tangy flavor)

Instructions
Now that you have your ingredients ready, here’s how to make these delightful gummy bears:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the fruit juice and sweetener. Stir until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
- Gradually whisk in the gelatin powder until there are no lumps. Continue to stir for a couple of minutes until the mixture is smooth and warm, but not boiling.
- If you’re using lemon juice, add it now and give it a good stir.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Carefully pour the mixture into gummy bear molds. If you don’t have gummy bear molds, other silicone molds will work too!
- Refrigerate the molds for about 30 minutes or until the gummies are firm to the touch.
- Once set, carefully remove the gummy bears from the molds. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
These homemade sugar-free gummy bears are not only a healthier alternative to store-bought snacks, but they also make for a fun activity in the kitchen. You can experiment with different fruit juices and sweetener levels to find your perfect flavor! Enjoy your delicious and guilt-free treats!
