Active time: 10 Minutes
Total time: 40 Minutes
35 Gummies
Dry mix sorbitol and vegan gelatin together.
Mix water, sodium citrate, citric acid, and flavor drops.
Slowly whisk in the sorbitol and vegan gelatin mixture.
Do not attempt to bloom this mixture like traditional gelatin.
Heat over low heat to 190°F, the mixture will thicken quickly at this point. If it comes to a boil it is fine, just be sure to not rapidly boil it for minutes on end.
Keep the mixture warm while you prepare the gummy molds.
Liberally dust the mold with cornstarch, then fill the mold with the gummy mixture.
Allow the mixture to cool completely before removing from molds. Should take about 30 minutes.
Dust with cornstarch or some extra sugar before serving or storing.

Why sorbitol and not sugar?

Sorbitol provides a lower calorie gummy, if you would like you can substitute granulated sugar for the sorbitol and the recipe will work just as well.

Thank you, Cole. I was wondering that as well. So nice to know I can use cane sugar or coconut sugar for the gummies. I was making elderberry gummies with my outdoor ed students, but didn’t need so many ingredients as these, and I substituted honey for the sweetener and they came out great. . I want to try this recipe, though. Experimenting is intriguing. .

Catherine, did you incorporate this recipe for your elderberry gummies? How did you make yours? What works for you? I have tried agar agar and I want a fan of the texture. I am experimenting with pectin but I will try this one now. Thank you

Catharine, my apologies for misspelling your name.

Would dusting molds with cornstarch still be recommended if using something like Truffly Made molds? Thank you

If the gummies are made properly and the molds are flexible enough they should pop out easily. The corn starch is there just in case some of the gummies get stuck and could potentially tear.

The final mixture is thick and hard to pour in mold easily did anyone else have this happened?

The vegan gelatin sets faster than traditional gelation so you must work quickly while it is still hot. If it gels you can re-heat it slowly until it is liquid again.

I tried making these twice exactly (except I used sugar instead of sorbitol)
according to the recipe. Both times it got too thick long before it reached 190 degrees. It got so thick I couldn’t pour it into molds. I worked very quickly but they just got too thick before it reached 125. I took some globs into molds just to see what would happen and they never solidified.
I did notice in the video demo that they mixed the Citric acid in with the sugar and gelatin. Is that the difference? Or could it be that I used actual sugar instead of sorbitol?
Thx in advance!

Hi Ross, it shouldn’t matter if you’re using sugar or sorbitol. Try mixing the citric acid with the sugar and gelatin and heating the mixture rapidly so that it can reach the 180F needed to gel. If you’re still having trouble write in on Ask a Chef and Scott can assist you further.

Mine was the same. Realized I was using Kappa Carrageenan instead of the the Vegan Gelatin.
The Vegan Gelatin is a blend of the Kappa and Iota Carrageenan that is standardized with sucrose so that it’s a 1:1 replacement for gelatin. The straight Kappa Carrageenan is much more potent and just a little goes a long way. I added almost twice the recommended liquid which still resulted in a very firm gel.

Do I need to use both sodium citrate and, citric acid or can I use on or the other? My gummies never set what could I be doing wrong ?
October 21, 2019 10:57 am
Without knowing what recipe you’re using it could be any number of things. Have you tried this recipe?

Hello
I want to make gummy with pectin
Have any recipe.
This carragen gummy stick and chewy like gelatin?
December 2, 2019 11:48 am
We don’t currently have a gummy recipe with pectin. Our vegan gummies taste just like gummies made with gelatin.
December 2, 2019 11:48 pm
What is actually vegan gelatin?
It’s mixture of sugar and carragen?
Or only use carragen?
In our country this ready vegan gelatin (sugar and carragen) not available
