Gelatin Gummies are a great alternative to sugar-laden lollies. Don’t let the colour fool you, these Raspberry and Coconut Gummies are not only delicious but they also are packed with goodness!

Need a quick snack or treat for your little ones? Gelatine gummies are so quick to make and you can have a lot of fun with flavours and shapes.

You may have already tried our tropical Orange Gummies or the Blueberry and Coconut Gummies but the flavour possibilities are endless.

There are also lots of different moulds available from lego figures and snakes to flowers and geometric shapes. You can pick them up from your supermarket, cooking shops, Kmart or online from eBay at a relatively low cost.

In these Layered Raspberry and Coconut Gummies, we’ve added a few hidden ingredients just to boost the nutrients. Trust us, they still taste amazing and your little one won’t even notice!

These are also made to be firm so that they resemble more of a supermarket gummy than jelly and will hold up better in a lunch box.

Making the Layered Raspberry and Coconut Gummies is a two-step process (but don’t be fooled- it’s super easy)

Step 1

Add 4 tablespoons of Nutra Organics Gelatin Powder and 1/2 cup of water to a small bowl. Stir to combine and leave to bloom.

Meanwhile, heat 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Once warm, add the bloomed gelatin and whisk until it has dissolved.

Pour the coconut liquid into your desired moulds until it fills half and place in the freezer to set.

Step 2

Repeat the blooming in step 1 with 4 tablespoons of Nutra Organics Gelatin Powder and 1/2 cup of water.

In a blender, place 1 cup of raspberries, 1/2 cup of spinach, 1/2 cup of water and the juice of 1/2 an orange. Raspberries can be quite tart, so you can add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to take off the edge. Blend until smooth.

Optional step: pass the raspberries through a fine sieve to get rid of the pips - I don’t bother with this step!

Add the raspberry liquid to your pot and heat before whisking in the bloomed gelatin.

Remove your moulds from the freezer and top with the raspberry mix. Return to the fridge until set before placing them into a sealed container.
