Homemade Sugar Free Gummies Bears
I am totally hooked on these 4-ingredient sugar free gummies. The recipe card has my favourite version of all time. Sugar Free Salted Caramel Cream Gummies! Damn they are so good!
Gummies are very easy to make at home and are a much healthier option than store-bought or jellies containing sugar.
Why You’ll Love This recipe
Ready in Minutes – one pot, pour and set. This recipe is just that simple.
Low Carb – made with the right keto sweeteners and the gummies are low carb and keto-friendly.
Snacks and Lunchbox Friendly – great for the lunchbox and perfect for a tasty healthy snack at any time of the day.
Freezer Friendly – make ahead of time. Yes, keto gummy bears can be frozen. I just freeze in a ziplock bag.
The Ingredients
Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the quantity of each ingredient used and the full detailed recipe for this easy gummy candy! Keep reading for more details on the ingredients, substitutes and step by step instructions on how to make them.
With just 4 ingredients in the base recipe you can use any flavour you prefer to make your gummies.
Salted Caramel Monk Fruit Sweetener – I used the Locako vanilla or salted caramel monk fruit sweetener as both my sweetener and flavour in this recipe. You can use any sweetener or sugar alcohol you prefer. The caramel sweetener is a blend of erythritol, caramel flavour, monk fruit extract and Himalayan rock salt. And, yes it tastes caramelly! It has 90% fewer calories than sugar and is keto, coeliac and diabetic friendly.
Inulin – is a prebiotic and is purely optional.
Pasture Raised Gelatin – To be honest, this is the only brand I have used of unflavored gelatin since it was released. You can use any kind of gelatin you prefer but I find this one does not have an invasive odour or flavour in delicate desserts and keto gummi bears.
How To Make Them
Seriously this is one of the easiest sugar free gummi bears recipes. Even better as they double up as a salted caramel fat bomb too. 7g of fat per serve they are a little “filling” too.
Step 1. add the cream to a small saucepan and stir through the sweetener.
Step 2. sprinkle the gelatin over the top of the cream, but not stir. Leave it for 3-5 minutes for the gelatin to bloom.
Step 3. Cook stirring for 3-5 minutes or until the sweetener and gelatin has dissolved.
Step 4. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a minute. Whisk in inulin and salt. Pour into gummy moulds and refrigerate before removing from moulds. You might find it easier to pop them into the freezer for 10 minutes before removing from their mould.
Flavors & Variations
Jelly flavoured gummies – swap the cream to water and the sweetener to 1 packet of any low sugar (or zero sugar) jello crystals. Add 1.5 tbsp gelatin, 1/2 cup boiling water, 1 teaspoon inulin
Mix all ingredients together and pour into gummy moulds and refrigerate before removing from moulds.
To make a sour sugar free gummy bear simply mix 1/4 cup of powdered erythritol with 1-2 tsp of citric acid. Roll the gummies in the mixture to coat.

What’s the shelf life on them?

They need to be kept in the fridge and I would say 10-14 days.

A d the best yet, using a scoop and a half of their choc honeycomb flavour with 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cream. SO good!
-
I made a version inspired by the measurements listed. Instead of the sweetener, I used the same amount of Bulk Nutrient’s hydrolysed collagen peptides in banana flavour. They’re pretty good!
-
These look fabulous! Is there an ingredient to add to make them sustainable outside the refrigerator? Would love to baggy them and take on trips.
-
There is enough gelatin in these store outside of the fridge Wendy but I do prefer 2-3 tbsp in mine so add more if you wish.

Love these! They’re so good, it feels like you’re eating a real lolly. My favourite are the salted caramel but my children really love the jelly ones. -
I made the jelly ones listed in the blurb… The non-keto people in the house love them (I tried making normal jelly ones, but they prefer mine). Today I made a 1/2 batch of the bit that makes them sour gummies – OMG. Fantastic!
-
They are kind of great arent they Rhiannon. I am a bit of a fan of the sour ones too!

Hi Megan – what does the inulin do please?
-
Hi Shona,
It is a probiotic so it is there for good gut health.

I am in the US. Are the jelly crystals the same as Jell-o?
-
Hi Robin yes they are

Wow can’t believe how easy to make … first attempt for me. I’m not good with desserts.

I am hooked on these sugar free gummy bears. I have now made all the versions and one using pure anise extract and hoppers natural black colour to make a licorice batch.
These are so easy and a great fat bomb with the vanilla yogurt and salted caramel gummies.
My grandkids loved the sugar free jelly gummies and even helped make them . No sugar treats for them on my watch!!
This is an awesome recipe 😍😍
