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.

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.

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 ?

Without knowing what recipe you’re using it could be any number of things. Have you tried this recipe?
