Ingredients You’ll Need for Sugar-Free Keto Gummies
You only need 4 simple ingredients to make these chewy, fruity, low-carb gummies at home. Chances are, you already have everything in your kitchen:
- Water – This helps make the fruit juice and activates the gelatin. You’ll use it in two parts: one to blend the fruit and one to bloom the gelatin.
- Fresh Strawberries – Use sweet, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural color. You can also switch it up with raspberries, blueberries, or a mix of berries if you want a different taste.
- Powdered Sweetener – Choose your favorite low-carb sweetener, like monk fruit, allulose, or erythritol. Make sure it’s powdered so it dissolves easily and gives the gummies a smooth texture.
- Unflavored Gelatin Powder – This is what gives the gummies their soft, chewy texture. Make sure to use plain gelatin, not flavored or sweetened versions.
How To Make Keto Gummies
You’ll be surprised at how quick and easy it is to make your own sugar-free keto gummies at home. Once you try this recipe, you’ll never want to go back to store-bought! Here’s exactly what to do:
- Make the Strawberry Sauce. Add the fresh strawberries and ¼ cup of water to a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and mash the strawberries as they soften. Let it cook for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Hydrate the Gelatin. In a small bowl, add the unflavored gelatin powder. Pour the remaining ¼ cup of water over the gelatin and whisk well until fully dissolved. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom (it will thicken like jelly).
- Strain the Strawberry Mixture. Place a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl (or use a jelly bag if you have one). Pour the cooked strawberry mixture into the sieve, and press down with the back of a spoon to squeeze out all the juice. Discard the pulp.
- Sweeten and Combine. Pour the strawberry juice back into the saucepan over medium heat. Add your powdered keto sweetener and stir until fully dissolved.
Lower the heat, then whisk in the bloomed gelatin. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. - Fill the Gummy Molds. Use a dropper or small spoon to carefully fill your gummy bear silicone molds (or any fun shape you like).
- Chill and Set. Transfer the molds to the fridge and let them chill for at least 2 hours, or until the gummies are firm and set.
- That’s it! Once they’re set, pop your homemade keto-friendly gummies out of the molds and enjoy a chewy, fruity, low-carb snack any time.
Recipe Variations and Tips for Making the Best Keto Gummies
Making your own keto gummy bears is not only fun but super customizable! Here are some easy tips and variations to help you get the best results every time:
- Try Different Berries. You don’t have to stick with strawberries! You can also make these sugar-free gummies with blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a fun flavor twist. Just make sure to strain the seeds out for a smooth texture.
- Play with Shapes. Use any silicone mold shape you love—gummy bears, worms, hearts, stars, or even dinosaurs. This makes them super fun for kids and great for themed treats.
- Remove Air Bubbles. If you notice air bubbles in the molds, gently pop them with a toothpick after pouring the mixture in. This helps the gummies set with a smooth surface.
- Avoid Spills When Filling Molds. Place your silicone molds on a baking sheet or tray before filling them. This makes it much easier to move them to the fridge without spilling the liquid.
- Add a Boost. You can mix in a splash of lemon juice for a little tartness or even a few drops of vitamin C or electrolyte drops to make these a healthy snack with benefits.
Storing Ideas
These homemade sugar-free gummies are easy to store and great for prepping ahead! Once they’re set, place them in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
If you’re stacking them in a container, add a piece of parchment paper between layers to keep them from sticking together.
Avoid leaving them at room temperature for too long, especially on warmer days, as they may soften or lose their shape.
They’re the perfect make-ahead keto snack to grab whenever you’re craving something sweet and chewy without the carbs!
