How to make vegan giant gummy bear
To make a vegan giant gummy bear, you will need the following ingredients:
- 3 cups of vegan gummy bears (make sure they contain no gelatin or other animal-derived ingredients)
- 1 cup of vegan gelatin substitute (such as agar agar powder or carrageenan)
- 1 cup of water
- Silicone gummy bear mold or any other desired mold shape
Here's the step-by-step process:
1. In a saucepan, combine the vegan gelatin substitute and water. Stir well to dissolve the powder.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Continue to stir occasionally to prevent clumping.
3. Once the mixture starts simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes. Stir constantly during this time to ensure all the gelatin is fully dissolved.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
5. While the mixture is still warm but not hot, carefully place the vegan gummy bears into the saucepan. Stir gently until all the gummy bears are melted and fully incorporated into the mixture.
6. Once everything is well combined, quickly pour the mixture into the silicone gummy bear mold or any other desired mold shape. Fill each cavity completely.
7. Allow the giant gummy bear to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
8. Once cooled, transfer the mold to the refrigerator and let it set for at least 2-3 hours or until firm and fully set.
9. After the gummy bear has fully set, remove it from the mold by gently pushing on the back of each mold cavity or flexing the silicon mold slightly.
10. Your vegan giant gummy bear is now ready to be enjoyed!
Note: Feel free to experiment with colors and flavors by adding natural food coloring or fruit juice to the mixture before pouring it into the mold.
