Homemade Vegan Strawberry Gummies
The great thing about this fun recipe is that you know EXACTLY what you put in gummies and it’s completely plant based! Plant based gummies??? THAT’S RIGHT! Agar Agar is a gelatin-like ingredient, but it’s PLANT BASED!!!! You can use any fresh fruit for this recipe - I just happened to have strawberries in the freezer. Super easy, super fun, and super short ingredient list! The only thing you might not have at home is Agar Agar powder which you can get right here on Amazon—> Agar Agar Powder
Step 1: Create fruit puree by blending these ingredients in a Cuisinart Food Processor.
1 pound strawberries or fresh fruit
2 citrus items (one lemon, one lime)
1/3 cup honey
3/4 cup water
Step 2: Mix 1 teaspoon of Agar Agar powder for every cup of fruit puree. I had 2.5 cups of puree so I stirred in 2.5 tsps of Agar Agar.
Step 3: Bring mixuture to a boil and continue to mix the entire time.
Step 4: Stir for 2 minutes as you bring the heat down.
Step 5: Bring the mixture off the burner, let cool while stirring for a minute and then pour mixture into mold and let it cool/set up. I found these cute gummy bear molds on Amazon!
Note: The longer you let the gummies set up the more concentrated the flavor becomes and chewier the gummy will be.
** Once gummies are cool and firm, enjoy!!
