Ingredients for the Coconut-Cocoa Gummies

You only need five ingredients for this recipe. Coconut cream and maple syrup form the creamy base, while beef gelatin provides the firm, gummy consistency.

  • 30 g beef gelatin
  • 180 ml water
  • 240 g coconut cream
  • 40 g maple syrup
  • 10 g cocoa powder
Tip: Let the beef gelatin bloom in the water completely before stirring it into the warm coconut mixture—this way, it dissolves evenly and the mixture won't get clumpy.

Preparation: Making Coconut-Cocoa Gummies

  1. Bloom the gelatin

    Add the gelatin to the water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.

  2. Warm the coconut cream

    Gently warm the coconut cream and maple syrup over low heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until everything is completely dissolved. Do not boil.

  3. Divide the mixture

    Divide the mixture into two bowls.

  4. Stir in the cocoa

    Stir the cocoa powder into one half.

  5. Fill molds and marble

    First, fill the light mixture into silicone molds and refrigerate for 5 minutes. Then add the cocoa mixture on top and swirl slightly to marble.

  6. Chill

    Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until the gummies are firm.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't my gelatin dissolving completely?

Usually, this happens if the coconut mixture wasn't warm enough or the gelatin didn't bloom long enough in the water. Let the gelatin bloom for at least 5 minutes and warm the coconut mixture evenly without letting it boil.

Is beef gelatin Halal?

Animal Based beef gelatin is Halal-certified. This means it is produced in accordance with Islamic slaughtering regulations and is suitable for anyone looking for Halal products.

Can I make the gummies without marbling them?

Yes, you can fill the light and dark mixtures separately into different molds instead of marbling them.
