Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups unsweetened cranberry juice (100% juice, no cocktail)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (freshly squeezed preferred)
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder (grass-fed or Knox gelatin recommended)
- Optional: A few drops of stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Bloom the gelatin: Pour the unsweetened cranberry juice into a small saucepan. Slowly sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder over the surface and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom, allowing the gelatin to hydrate and thicken slightly.
- Heat and stir gently: Place the saucepan over low heat and gently warm the mixture, whisking continuously until the gelatin completely dissolves. Avoid boiling as high heat will ruin the gelatin’s ability to set properly. The mixture should be warm, not hot.
- Add lemon juice: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice. This adds a bright citrus flavor and vitamin C boost.
- Pour into molds: Transfer the mixture into silicone molds or a glass container. Using fun-shaped silicone molds is optional but recommended for bite-sized, kid-friendly snacks.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the gelatin for at least 2–3 hours or until fully set and firm.
- Serve and store: Once set, pop the gelatin out of the molds or cut into cubes if using a glass container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and enjoy as a low-calorie evening snack that helps curb cravings.
Notes
- Don’t skip the blooming step, as it ensures a smooth texture without clumps.
- Avoid boiling the mixture to preserve gelatin’s setting properties.
- Use 100% unsweetened cranberry juice to avoid added sugars that could affect flavor and blood sugar.
- If desired, add a few drops of a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit for a touch of sweetness.
- Fun silicone molds can make the snack more appealing and easy to portion.
- Great paired with complementary recipes like the Canaan honey trick or Dr. Mark Hyman’s gelatin variations.
