Do you want to make homemade sweets? Well, the easiest are homemade jelly beans, so this step-by-step recipe will help you start off on the right foot. Unlike the other recipe we have for gelatin gummies, this time we will use plain gelatin instead of sheet gelatin and also, we will make gumdrops with milk and water.
Ingredients to make homemade gumdrops:
- 1 envelope of neutral Gelatin (10 grams)
- 1 envelope of flavored Gelatin (80 grams)
- 125 milliliters of Water
- 125 milliliters of milk
- 1 cup of Sugar (200 grams)
How to make homemade gumdrops:
- To make these jelly beans we will start by gathering all the ingredients on the work table. As I always recommend, it is better to have everything on hand to facilitate the preparation of the recipe.
- As you can see in the photo, we will also use silicone molds, you can use them in the ways you like, for example if you want to make gummy bears, or use molds to make ice.
- Combine all the dry ingredients, the two types of gelatin and the sugar. Then divide this into two equal parts to be able to make the jelly beans with milk and the classic jelly beans.
- Mix one of the gelatin halves with the water, stir well until dissolved, and then place in a pot to bring to the heat. Cook until the mixture boils and thickens as if it were a normal water gelatin.
- At the same time, to make the milk gummies, mix the other half of the jellies with the milk and also bring to the heat until it boils and thickens slightly.
- When you have both mixtures ready, prepare the silicone molds by smearing them with a few drops of oil. You can easily do this with spray oil or spread with an absorbent paper napkin.
- Fill the molds with both mixtures to make the fantasy gumdrops. To help you, I recommend that you transfer the liquid gelatin from the pot to a jar.
- Fill some with the milk mixture and others with the water and if you want, make some doubles by placing a little of each mixture.
- Let the jelly beans rest in a cool place until they solidify, this process can take between 4 and 6 hours, although if you have time, it is better to leave them overnight.
- When your gummies are ready, carefully remove them from the molds, you will see that the milk ones have a different color, more whitish, than the water ones. Then, pass them all through a bowl with granulated sugar. Cover them well on all sides.
- Enjoy the homemade gumdrops and make a nice gift for the little ones at home. Remember that you can make these homemade sweets in various colors, using gelatin of different flavors.
