Orange creamsicle gummies are such a fun snack for adults and kids alike! These little gems combine fresh orange juice, vanilla, cream, honey, and grass-fed gelatin for a treat that feels indulgent but is actually made with real, wholesome ingredients.
How to Make These Homemade Gummies
Making these is simpler than you might think! Start by sprinkling the gelatin over the orange juice and letting it bloom. Then add the honey and warm everything over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the honey and gelatin are fully dissolved. Stir in the cream and vanilla, let the mixture cool, and pour it into your molds. That’s it!
The ingredients you’ll need for orange creamsicle gummies recipe
- Fresh orange juice
- Vanilla extract
- Heavy cream
- Honey
- Unflavored grass-fed gelatin
What mold do I use for homemade gummies
You have a couple of options here! You can pour the mixture into a lightly oiled 8×8 pan, or use a candy mold. Since the liquid cools before going into the refrigerator, I feel comfortable using a silicone mold, but if you prefer to avoid silicone altogether, the square pan works perfectly.
Can I make these gummies dairy-free?
Absolutely! Simply swap the heavy cream for coconut cream. Just keep in mind that it will add a hint of coconut flavor. Make sure you’re using full-fat coconut cream rather than a coconut beverage. My go-to recommendation is Native Forest.
