kcalIngredients
1 cup fruit juice (Organic and without added sugars, choose a juice like orange, apple, or pomegranate)
2 tbsp Mushroom Powder (such as Lion’s Mane, Reishi, or Chaga)
3 tbsp gelatin powder (or agar-agar for a vegan alternative)
1-2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)
1/2 tsp lemon juice (optional, for a zesty kick)
1/4 tsp turmeric powder (optional, for extra health benefits and color)
Directions
- Start by prepping your silicone gummy molds. You can use small heart, bear, or star-shaped molds for fun little gummies, or go for a simple rectangular or circular one. Make sure your molds are clean and dry before you begin.
- In a small saucepan, pour in the fruit juice and heat it over medium heat. Stir to prevent it from burning. Heat it just enough to be warm but not boiling.
- Once the juice is warm, whisk in your mushroom powder. Make sure to stir well to fully dissolve the powder. If you’re using a combination of mushrooms, add them all in and blend them thoroughly.
- Add the honey or maple syrup for sweetness. Stir until it dissolves. If you’re using turmeric or lemon juice, add them in at this point, stirring until evenly mixed.
- Slowly sprinkle in the gelatin powder while continuously stirring to prevent clumps. Continue to heat on low while stirring for 2-3 minutes, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. If you’re using agar-agar, follow the instructions on the package as it requires a bit more time to dissolve and activate.
- Once everything is well combined and smooth, pour the mixture into your silicone molds. Use a spoon or dropper to carefully fill each mold. Work quickly, as the mixture can begin to set as it cools.
- Allow the gummies to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to cool down. Then, transfer them to the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Once the gummies are set, carefully pop them out of the molds.
- Store your mushroom gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Ensure the juice is not too acidic. For a sugar-free version, you can substitute honey or maple syrup with stevia or monk fruit sweetener. If you want to make the gummies vegan, you can replace the gelatin with agar-agar. Agar-agar sets at a lower temperature, so you may need to follow the specific instructions on the agar packet. There are various mushroom powders available and you can use as per your choice.
