Frequently Asked Questions About the Coconut-Cocoa Gummies

Why isn't my gelatin dissolving completely?

This is usually because the coconut mixture wasn't warm enough or the gelatin wasn't allowed to soak in the water long enough. Let the gelatin soak for at least 5 minutes and heat the coconut mixture evenly, without letting it boil.

Is beef gelatin halal?

Animal-Based Beef Gelatin is Halal-certified. This means it is produced in accordance with Islamic slaughter regulations and is therefore suitable for anyone who follows Halal dietary guidelines.

Can I make the gummies without the marbling?

Yes, you can also pour the light and dark mixtures separately into different molds instead of marbling them.

Can I substitute coconut cream for something else?

Coconut cream is essential for achieving a creamy fudge texture. Coconut milk is usually too runny and would alter the result.

Are the gummies also suitable for children?

Yes, the recipe contains no artificial colors or additives, making it a great snack for children.

How long do the coconut-cocoa gummies last?

If stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, they will keep for 4–5 days. Since they contain no preservatives, they should be eaten as soon as possible.
