Description
Easy-to-make Raspberry Lemonade Electrolyte Gummies that provide a refreshing boost while fitting into a keto plan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1/2 cup water for simmering the berries
- 1 cup water (room temperature)
- 5 tablespoons grass-fed gelatin powder
- 1/3 cup allulose or 1/2 cup powdered erythritol, or to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon potassium chloride powder or a small pinch of a potassium-based salt substitute
- 1/8 teaspoon magnesium citrate powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Put raspberries and 1/2 cup water into a small saucepan. Bring to a low simmer over medium heat and mash gently as they soften. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the fruit breaks down and smells bright and floral.
- Pour the raspberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Press with the back of a spoon to get as much juice as you can. Discard the seeds and keep the deep pink liquid.
- In the saucepan, stir together the raspberry liquid, lemon juice, and 1 cup room temperature water. Keep the mixture cool enough to sprinkle gelatin on top without clumping. Taste; if you want more lemon, add a splash now.
- Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the liquid and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes. This is called blooming.
- Place the saucepan over low heat and whisk gently until the gelatin dissolves. Heat just until warm and smooth. Do not boil.
- Stir in the sweetener, sea salt, potassium chloride, and magnesium citrate if using. Taste carefully and adjust sweetness if needed. Add vanilla if you like.
- Pour the warm mixture into silicone molds or a prepared baking dish. Tap the molds once on the counter to release air bubbles.
- Place the molds in the fridge for at least 1 to 2 hours until firm. They should be springy to the touch and hold their shape.
- Gently pop gummies from the molds. Optionally, roll them lightly in a bit of powdered erythritol for a sugared look. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
Gelatin sets best when bloomed in cold liquid. No need for reheating; they thaw to a pleasant texture in the fridge. Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
