Perfect 3-Ingredient Keto Gummy Bears

Recipe by Mollie

These chewy, vibrant gummies are the ultimate low-carb hack for satisfying a candy craving. Using just three simple pantry staples, you can create a sugar-free treat that rivals store-bought versions. For an American twist, try the optional “sour dust” coating to mimic classic sour patch candies without the carbs.

  • Total Time35 minutes
  • Yield2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin powder (Knox or similar) (approx. 14g)
  • 1 package (0.3 oz) sugar-free flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O brand, any flavor) (approx. 8.5g)
  • 1/3 cup water (brought to a rolling boil) (80 ml)
  • 1/4 tsp citric acid or vitamin C powder (Optional: adds a sour kick)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the molds: Place your silicone gummy bear molds on a stiff baking sheet or cutting board. This ensures you can move them to the refrigerator without spilling once filled.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a small heat-proof mixing bowl, whisk together the unflavored gelatin powder and the sugar-free flavored gelatin mix. Tip: Whisking the dry powders together first prevents clumps from forming when the water is added.
  3. Dissolve gelatin: Pour the boiling water directly over the powder mixture. Whisk vigorously and continuously for about 1-2 minutes until the granules are completely dissolved and the liquid is clear. If the mixture creates foam on top, let it sit for a minute and skim the foam off with a spoon for clearer gummies.
  4. Fill molds: Using a liquid dropper or a pipette, carefully transfer the hot mixture into the mold cavities. Work relatively quickly, as the high gelatin content causes the mixture to set faster than regular Jello.
  5. Chill and set: Transfer the baking sheet with the molds to the refrigerator. Allow them to set for at least 30 to 40 minutes.
  6. Unmold and serve: Once firm, pop the gummies out of the molds.
    • Variation Step: If using the optional citric acid, lightly dust the finished gummies with it right before serving for a sour candy experience.

Notes

  • Texture Check: These gummies are much firmer than standard dessert gelatin due to the high ratio of unflavored gelatin. This allows them to stay solid at room temperature.
  • Safety Note: Be very careful when handling the boiling water and the hot gelatin mixture to avoid burns.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for long-term storage (up to 6 months).
  • Batch Sizing: This recipe is for a single flavor batch. To make multiple flavors like the original photo, simply repeat the process with different boxes of sugar-free gelatin.
  • Allergy Alert: Check your gelatin packaging; while naturally gluten-free, some facilities may process wheat. This recipe contains no dairy, nuts, or eggs.
