Sugar free jelly sweets


After somewhat of an absence I will be posting a bit more frequently. My exams are over and I have about 40 recipes waiting to try out and perfect in my own little way. Meanwhile I shall leave you with the delight that is sugar free sweets!


Ingredients

2 packets of Sugar Free Jelly Powder
1 Sachet of Gelatine
200ml water

Also need- one sweet mould (I used an ice cube tray), 1 jug or pipette, 1 saucepan.


  1. Empty the jelly and gelatine into a small saucepan
  2. Add the water to the powders and mix into a paste.
  3. Heat the paste on low with continual stirring.
  4. Carry on heating until the powders have all dissolved and the solution is completely clear.
  5. Pour the liquid equally into each of your moulds.
  6. Place the mould in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Take your sweets out of the mould and store in a festive jar (I repurposed an old coconut oil jar for this)


So far I have made the following flavour sweets:
Blackcurrant and raspberry
Orange and raspberry
Strawberry and lime
Blackcurrant and orange
Raspberry and lime
Orange and raspberry

If you split the mixture into 21 portions they average 5 calories and 0.1g carbs per portion. I'm waiting for a smaller mould to arrive because these sweets are a little bit big for my liking, but at 0.1g each it does take awhile for the carbs to add up.
