Plant Based Valentine Gummies
Our version of Valentine’s vegan gummy candy is super simple and ready in 25 minutes! With little fridge time and just a handful of ingredients, these are perfect for a last-minute Valentine’s Day treat.
Ingredients
- ½ cup fruit juice of choice (we used grape and orange, but cherry, pomegranate, strawberry, and cranberry would be festive for Valentine’s Day, too!)
- 1 tsp agar powder
- 2 tbsp of maple syrup (or another liquid sweetener)
Instructions
- Take out a different saucepan for each flavor. Combine maple syrup, agar agar powder, and juice of choice and mix until combined.
- Bring to a boil. Allow the mixture to boil for 2 minutes and remove from heat.
- Transfer to a bowl for further cooling.
- Using a dropper (most molds will come with them), drop the mixture into your gummy bear or heart mold.
- Place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 15 minutes.
- Pop out of the mold and enjoy your sweet treat!
Notes
- This makes a lot of gummy hearts! Make them all at once, as the mixture will eventually solidify in the bowl if you don’t drop it into the mold shortly after cooling.
- The texture is going to be different than a gummy made from gelatin. It is closer to the consistency of Jello.
