Gummy Recipe: Coconut, Cherry & Berry Blue American Flag
To celebrate Fourth of July I built an American flag made of gummy Lego JELL-O candy. This is a fun and easy dessert recipe. If you’re throwing an Independence Day party your guests can snack on a chewy treat and have fun by stacking the blocks. Plus, this gummy has no corn syrup. Instead, I’m using honey and the white gummy is made of coconut milk, so this is a relatively healthy gummy recipe. Tthe red and blue gummies are made of cherry and berry blue JELL-O. These DIY stackable JELL-O gummy Lego blocks are perfect for sharing with your guests and it’s a kid friendly recipe.
Spray vegetable oil on the lid and base of each mold. I’m using 2 building block candy molds by The Modern Gummy. For links, see notes below.
For the coconut gummy: In a small pot, whisk together coconut milk and gelatin until lumps are gone. Heat pot on low heat. Add honey and slowly whisk until mixture is a smooth and creamy consistency. Pour into a small bowl. Remove the top foam by using a spoon to skim the surface.
Place both molds on a cookie tray. Use eyedropper to fill each brick to the top surface. Or, use plastic squeeze dispensing bottles (see link in notes).
If there are little bubbles on top, use a chopstick or toothpick to pop the bubbles.
Line up “The Modern Gummy” logo on the base and lid. Put the lid on top. To squeeze out excess liquid, press down on the top lid moving from left to right. Wipe away excess liquid on the sides. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Remove from fridge and pop out the gummies.
Use a sharp knife to cut the edges if there’s extra gummy attached to the sides.
For the cherry and berry blue gummies, follow the same procedure as the coconut gummy (except use the cherry and berry blue gummy ingredients, respectively).
Store the white, red, and blue gummies in separate containers until ready to assemble.
Put parchment paper on a cutting board. Arrange the red, white and blue gummies so it looks like the American Flag. (watch video instructions).
Cover the flag with plastic wrap and store in fridge until ready to serve.
