Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin and Flavoring:
- 1 package (3 ounces) lime-flavored Jello
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
Sweeteners:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Molding Equipment:
- 1 Shamrock-shaped silicone mold
Liquid:
- 1/2 cup cold water
Instructions
- Mix lime Jello and unflavored gelatin in a small saucepan, whisking thoroughly to combine dry ingredients with cold water. Allow the mixture to rest 5 minutes for gelatin activation.
- Heat the mixture on low temperature, stirring continuously until completely dissolved and smooth. Avoid boiling the liquid.
- Optional: Enhance sweetness by incorporating granulated sugar, stirring until fully integrated.
- Carefully transfer the liquid into shamrock-shaped silicone molds using a spoon or small pitcher for precise pouring.
- Eliminate potential air pockets by gently tapping the mold against the countertop.
- Refrigerate molds for 2 hours at 40°F, ensuring complete gelatin solidification.
- Delicately release gummies from molds by applying gentle pressure, creating perfectly shaped treats.
- Serve immediately or store in a sealed container within the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- Bloom gelatin properly by letting it sit for exactly 5 minutes to ensure a smooth, consistent texture without clumping.
- Avoid boiling the mixture to prevent breaking down gelatin’s setting properties and maintaining a perfect chewy consistency.
- Use silicone molds for easy removal and experiment with different shapes to make the gummies more fun and personalized.
- Consider reducing sugar for a healthier version or substituting with stevia for a low-calorie alternative that still delivers great flavor.
