Ingredients
- 240g coconut oil
- Source material (amount calculated by BatchCraft)
- 1 box flavored gelatin (Jello)
- 2 packets unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup fruit juice or water
- Silicone gummy molds (48 cavities)
- Sunflower lecithin (optional, for even distribution)
How to Make It
- 1Decarboxylate: Preheat oven to 115°C / 240°F. Break source material into small pieces, spread on parchment, bake 35-40 minutes.
- 2Infuse oil: Warm coconut oil on low heat, add decarbed material, maintain 85-95°C / 185-200°F for 1-2 hours. Strain and set aside.
- 3Make gummy base: In a saucepan, combine fruit juice, flavored gelatin, and unflavored gelatin. Heat on low, stirring until fully dissolved. Do not boil.
- 4Combine: Remove from heat. Stir infused oil (and lecithin if using) into the gummy mixture until fully incorporated.
- 5Pour and set: Fill silicone molds evenly — aim for 48 pieces. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours until firm.
- 6Store: Pop out of molds, dust with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Pro Tips
- ★Add sunflower lecithin to help the oil emulsify evenly — prevents hot spots where some gummies are stronger than others.
- ★Work quickly when pouring — the mixture sets fast. A squeeze bottle or dropper makes filling molds much easier.
- ★Coat finished gummies in cornstarch or citric acid/sugar mix to prevent them from sticking together.
