Overall, this is a great recipe. I think it needs a little more flavor though. Mine tasted a bit bland. I would probably up it to 3 tablespoons of the raspberry powder.

Unfortunately I found that that changes the texture of the actual gummies 🙁

So this tip melted mine in the dehydrator. I would share the picture of the melted goo if I could. 🤣

Can i use fruit juice instead of powder

Hey mamma-san, thanks for sharing! I’m going to try the dehydrator trick. Can I ask what temp you set it to?

Fat is an amazing energy source. Perhaps one does not need high fat to achieve ketosis, but you are incorrect to say that the Keto diet is not high fat. Does that make sense? Keto is low carb but high fat. Achieving ketosis might not need high fat, as you said, but high fat percentage is part of Keto.

Actually, Lesa, you’re wrong. You’re diet doesn’t “need to be high in fat to achieve ketosis”. Your body will use fat from any source, diet or fat stores already in the body. A basic biology class will introduce ketosis as something called fatty acid oxidation – it happens when you’re starving. I.e. a diet not high in fat, or high in anything. Paola is correct – a (strict) Keto diet is the absence of carbs. Food doesn’t need to have any fat in it to be considered keto. It is encouraged to eat healthy (naturally occurring) fats while on a keto diet to help with satiety and energy levels, which is where the popularity of MCT oil comes from.

Best option to make them chewier is to use a dehydrator if you have one, after the gummies set. Take them out of mold, place on parchment lined cookie sheet. I put mine in my convection oven which also has a dehydrate option for 2 hours. You can always purchase a simple, inexpensive, multi-tray dehydrator (I also use my dehydrator to make Steak, pork and chicken Jerky) Since your dehydration time may vary, I suggest trying a gummie one at 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours… to test your desired level of chewiness.

To get the citric acid (sour coating) to stick, I mix up 1 tablespoon citric acid powder with 1/2 cup warm water into a measuring cup with spout and mix till dissolved. Then I pour mixture into a small spray bottle (got mine at the dollar store in beauty section).

Grab a plastic food container, add 1/2 cup of Stevia and I use 2 teaspoons citric acid for the sour impact, mix well,
Spray your gummies with wet mixture, then drop your 25 wet gummies (1 serving) into powdered mixture, close container and shake for 10 seconds (until coated). I use a slotted spoon to scoop them from container, gently tapping off extra powder. Now they are chewier, sweet n sour, gummies, ready to enjoy. Store remaining gummies in a separate container. Spray n repeat for each desired serving. You can always adjust wet or dry mixture to your taste.
