You mention Instagel in the ingredients and gellan gum f in the recipe. Can I use gellan gum instead to make this vegetarian? And if so how much should I use?

That’s a typo, it’s Instagel

What does the sorbitol do exactly?

Cole Whitney

July 6, 2021 11:59 am

Sorbitol acts a sweetener in this recipe. You could substitute it for table sugar and the recipe would still work.

Do I need to add water for instagel to work? Could I use say, 100% Kahlua to make gummies?

Cole Whitney

Yes, you should add some water to this. Dilute the Kahlua 50% with water to ensure the instagel works properly.

If using table sugar, does the quantity need to be reduced to reflect the increased sweetness vs sorbitol? If so, any recommendations?

Scott Guerin

You can use sugar as a one to one replacement if you wanted to, but if you wanted to have the sweetest be a little less intense you could reduce the amount of sugar by 20%. That should give you around the same relative sweetness. Let us know how it goes.
