Double Decker Gummies

Gummies are one of my favourite gut friendly snacks to make. They are so easy to make and my kids love them - especially the two layered variety like these ‘top deck’ ones.

To get the maximum benefits out of the gelatin ensure you use a good quality, grass fed variety from your health food store rather than the standard ones from the supermarket.

Double Decker Gummies

Makes 20-24 (depending on the size of your moulds)

Gluten free, dairy free, nut free, egg free

Ingredients:

Chocolate layer

• 1 cup coconut cream

• 1 tablespoon cacao powder

• 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup

  or honey

• 1/2 tsp vanilla powder

• pinch salt

• 2 tablespoons gelatin 

White layer

• 1 cup coconut cream

• 1 tablespoon honey

• 2 tablespoons gelatin

Instructions:

For the chocolate layer

1. In a small saucepan whisk together the coconut cream, cacao, vanilla, sweetener and salt.

2. Sprinkle over the gelatin and leave to ‘bloom’ for a couple of minutes (the gelatin will thicken and absorb the liquid).

3. Heat saucepan over medium heat and stir to dissolve the gelatin.

4. Once gelatin has dissolved, take the saucepan off the heat and pour the mixture into silicone cupcake moulds only filling halfway.

5. Place the moulds carefully into the freezer to set.

For the white layer

1. Rinse out the saucepan and add the coconut cream and honey.

2. Sprinkle over the gelatin and leave to ‘bloom’ for a couple of minutes (the gelatin will thicken and absorb the liquid).

3. Heat saucepan over medium heat and stir to dissolve the gelatin.

4. Once gelatin has dissolved, take the saucepan off the heat. Check your silicone moulds to see if the cacao layer has set. The mixture should be slightly firm to touch but it doesn’t have to be completely hard.

5. Once the cacao layer has set, pour the coconut mixture on top then place back in the fridge for the gummies to set.

6. Once set remove from silicone moulds and transfer to a container. These will last around 5 days in the fridge.

   Notes:

   If you don't want to make these two layered you can mix all the ingredients together or choose one layer to make on its own.
