Sugar-Free Keto-Friendly Gummy Candy Recipe (3 Ingredients) Recipe
Introduction
These sugar-free keto-friendly gummy candies are a simple, delicious treat made with only three main ingredients. Perfect for those following a low-carb lifestyle, they offer a chewy, flavorful snack without the sugar crash.
Ingredients
- 12 fruit tea bags (strongly brewed)
- 2 cups hot water
- 5 tablespoons powdered gelatin
- 2 tablespoons granulated sweetener of choice (adjust to taste)
- 4 boxes sugar-free Jello
- 4 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Step 1: Brew the fruit tea by placing the 12 tea bags in 2 cups of hot water. Let it steep until the flavor is very strong, then remove the tea bags.
- Step 2: While the tea is still hot, add 5 tablespoons of powdered gelatin and 2 tablespoons of your preferred granulated sweetener. Stir well until fully dissolved. Optionally, add food coloring to enhance the appearance.
- Step 3: In a separate heatproof jug, dissolve 4 boxes of sugar-free Jello in 2 cups hot water. Add 4 tablespoons of unflavored gelatin powder and mix thoroughly with a fork until completely dissolved.
- Step 4: Use candy droppers to carefully fill gummy bear and gummy worm molds with the prepared mixtures.
- Step 5: Place the filled molds in the refrigerator and let them set for 1 to 3 hours. The longer they chill, the chewier the gummies will become.
Tips & Variations

Storage
Store your gummy candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep fresh for up to 1 week. To enjoy, simply take them out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating. Avoid storing at room temperature for long periods as they may lose their texture.

FAQs
Can I use regular tea bags instead of fruit tea?

What sweeteners are keto-friendly for this recipe?
Ideal sweeteners include erythritol, stevia, monk fruit sweetener, or any other granulated, low-carb sugar substitute that dissolves well in hot liquids.
