I whipped up a batch of coffee almond gummies last weekend. It’s a recipe from Sarah Wilson that I’ve been desperate to make for a while. But since I’ve had quite a few messages asking for the recipe I thought I’d share.
You don’t have to do these in a gummy bear mould, they work just as well in a baking tray and then cut into squares.
What you’ll need:
1 sachet of gelatine (you can use vegetarian-friendly gelatine which is available in almost all supermarkets, but it doesn’t set as well).
1/3 cup cold water
1 tablespoon rice malt syrup (you can use honey if you’d prefer)
1/2 cup cold black coffee
1/2 cup almond milk
Method
Mix the gelatine and water together in a cup and let it rest for around 5 minutes.
Heat the rice malt syrup, coffee and almond milk in a small saucepan and then just before boiling point, add the gelatine. Keep mixing as the mixture cools.
Then pour into a small baking tray or a sweet mould and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
These are really good for a healthy afternoon treat or even breakfast on the go.
I’m going to do a post on gelatine soon as it’s a real super food. Gelatin has been shown to help with digestive issues, to reverse inflammation, soothe joint pain, boost energy, help damaged skin, hair, and nails and so much more.
I’ve never tried making my own gum sweets before, I don’t usually buy them either as I can never understand E numbers. I will definitely give something like this a try for my children without the coffee.
If you get some fresh raspberries and blend them, use that instead of coffee x
I love that it is vegetarian as it means I can have them! 🙂 I would use decaf coffee as I can’t have caffeine but apart from that they sound perfect.
These look lovely and really fun! How does agar agar compare to veggie gelatine?
In my experience you use the same amount of agar as you do veg gelatin
I haven’t heard of these before, but I have loved all of the other Sarah Wilson recipes that I have tried.
One thing I have never made is gummy sweets, if honest I am scared of gelatine as I have never worked with it before. I am intrigued to give these a go now though x
These lok interesting and with health benifits too they are worth trying.
I’ve never thought of making my own gummy sweets, to be honest these would be great with a different flavour for my son too. x
Oh these look so easy to make and yummy too! I did not realise gelatin was a superfood! (Samantha Rickelton)
Ooooooh not for me! Nice activity for kids though 🙂
Sure my kids would be happy to try these. Looks interesting.
I have never ever tried to make my own before and having now read this, you have made it sound so easy x
I did not know that gelatine had all of those health benefits, I’ll certainly have a look into that as it does sound like a super food! x
I am not a fan of coffee since my first pregnancy but like the idea of making my own gummies! x
These look so cute – almost too cute to eat! I have never tried to make anything like this – and I really like the sound of coffee gummies
love the sound of the flavour. my hubbie would love these, just a shame they are made with gelatin, as I am a vegetarian
As I mentioned I used vegetarian geletin x
ah, I missed that bit, just saw the word geletin and instantly thought animals. I never even knew that there was such a thing a vegetarian geletin. Will have to look out for this, and glad I can now try these gummies out too 🙂
Lol I had to check I actually put it. Most supermarkets do it, I got mine from sainsbury as they do their own brand of it. Also, if you like jelly sweets marks and spencer are good for not using beef/pork geletin x
Thanks hun. We have a M&S opening up in our town after Christmas, so will have to look out for these. Pinned this recipe, so I can give it ago xx
I may have to give these a go for my in laws as they would love them!
Interesting. Does vegetarian gelatine have the same health benefits I wonder?
Ooh these sound interesting. I need to show them to my sister – This is defo something she would love to try.
Thanks for sharing hun

I never heard of these and wouldn’t think about making them myself but they are a really good idea x
These vegetarian gummies looks really good. My niece will absolutely love this for sure.
Oo these look fab, I don’t drink coffee but could you make them with fruit instead? I love the gummy bear mould though!
Yeah you could substitute for coffee for fruit xoxox
These look fun and I had no idea that gelatin was good for you, I’ll have to eat more jelly, as I love it!
They look and sound delicious! I’ve never tried to make gummies before, they sound quite straightforward to do so I’m definitely going to try them.
These are adorable, bet they taste amazing
These sound really tasty, I never thought about making my own gummy sweets before.
