These easy to make Strawberry Cream Gummies are a delicious, gut healing treat that my whole family loves. Check out the Raspberry Cream Gummy variation too.
- 400 ml canned coconut milk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup - optional
- 125 g strawberries (1 cup -heaped) frozen then defrosted berries provide the best flavour
- 250 ml boiling water (1 cup)
- 1 tsp vanilla - essence or paste
- 4 tbsp grass-fed or organic gelatin
In a small pot, heat the coconut milk and maple syrup over a low heat until luke warm (don't over heat it).
Add 2 tablespoons of the gelatin and allow to bloom, mixing it well to combine. Continue to mix over the very low heat until it dissolves.
In a food processor or blender, blend the strawberries until it forms a pulp. You can strain off the seeds if you wish, for a really smooth gummy (I personally don't bother).
Add the boiling water and vanilla, blend again then add the remaining 2 tablespoons of gelatin and process for a minute or so until the gelatin has dissolved.
Line a slice tray with baking paper. Pour in the coconut cream layer. Then gently pour over the strawberry layer (swirling as you pour creates the pattern on the top).
Pop into the fridge for about 30 minutes to set.
Slice and enjoy.

Choose raspberries and replace the maple syrup with rice malt syrup.Sweeter
My kids are fine with little or no sweetener. But feel free to adjust the sweetness to suit your taste and add more maple syrup (or rice malt) if you prefer a sweeter gummy. Let me know how your family enjoys this delicious and healing treat. Leave a comment below or rate the recipe.
