Healthy Strawberry Gummy Bears with Thermomix

Ingredients:

• 1 packet of sugar-free gelatin (strawberry flavor, for example, Royal brand)

• 1 Greek yogurt (sweetened or unsweetened – sweetened is recommended for a more gummy candy-like result)

• 100 ml of water (about half a glass)

Preparation with Thermomix:

1. Heat the water:

   • Pour the 100 ml of water into the Thermomix bowl.

   • Set to 2 minutes / 70°C / speed 1.

2. Dissolve the gelatin:

   • Add the packet of gelatin powder.

   • Mix for 30 seconds / speed 3 to dissolve completely.

   • If any lumps remain, mix for an additional 15 seconds / speed 4.

3. Add the yogurt:

   • Add the Greek yogurt.

   • Mix for 30 seconds / speed 4, until smooth and fully combined.

4. Pour into molds:

   • Carefully pour the mixture into silicone molds or a container lined with plastic wrap.

   • Smooth the surface if needed.

   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, until set.

Storage:

• Store the gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

• They will stay fresh for 2 to 4 days – but they’ll likely be eaten before that!

Tips & Tricks:

• You can use any gelatin flavor you like.

• For fun shapes, use small silicone molds like those for chocolates – we made little bears, for example.

• Halloween tip: pour the mixture into plastic straws – once set, cut them into “creepy worms.”

• If you skip the sugar and use natural yogurt, this can also be a good option for babies who can already eat dairy.

• Important tip: make sure the gelatin is completely dissolved to avoid lumps and get a smooth texture.
