Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk Don't use drinking/cereal coconut milks; they are too thin.
- 1 cup fruit purée or leftover smoothie
- 1/2-1 cup raw honey or maple syrup OR 40-50 drops of liquid stevia, to taste
- 1/2 cup grass-fed beef gelatin
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 8-10 probiotic capsules or a Tbsp. of yogurt starter culture (optional)
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract or other flavored extract (optional)
- natural food coloring like beet juice, blueberry juice, etc. (optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat the coconut milk, sweetener and salt until blended. Bring to just below a boil.
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the top of the hot mixture a little at a time, and whisk in until thoroughly dissolved.
- Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool down to about 105-110 degrees F. This is important because you don't want to kill the probiotics.
- Once the mixture has cooled, thoroughly mix in the fruit purée/smoothie, vanilla extract, probiotics and food coloring, if using.
- Pour into candy molds or a cake pan and refrigerate about 30 minutes to an hour, until solid.
- Remove candy from molds or cut into small squares and store in a jar in the fridge.
