“Candy Corn” Gelatin Jars

Real Food, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, IBD-AID (Phase I: sub honey for powdered sugar)

Do you need a healthy treat for Halloween or the entire season of Fall? These “Candy Corn” Gelatin Jars are made using fruit and vegetable juice, grass-fed gelatin, and coconut yogurt. Powdered sugar is optional in the final layer.

These “Candy Corn” Gelatin Jars make for a yummy, dye-free, nearly sugar-free treat. They can be sweetened with juice only. If preferred, for additional sweetness, you can choose to add a bit of honey to the juice and gelatin.

These are quick to prepare and require very little cleanup. They do take a while to set in the refrigerator, so plan ahead. If I start in the morning, these are generally ready by mid-afternoon.

Vital Proteins Beef Gelatin is a pantry staple in my home.

Because I like to make gelatin as an occasional treat, I keep a jar of this Organic Pineapple Juice in our pantry at all times as well.

I sometimes purchase this Organic Orange Carrot Juice when I don’t have the time or bandwidth to juice my own carrots.

Ingredients

• 6 jelly jars
• mixing bowl
• sauce pan
• whisk and/or hand mixer
• 2 c pineapple juice
• 2 c orange carrot juice
• 2 tbsp grass-fed gelatin, divided
• 1 c unsweetened, unflavored coconut yogurt
• 3 tbsp organic powdered sugar

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, pour 1 c of the pineapple juice. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of gelatin on the juice. This will “bloom” while you heat the remaining pineapple juice.
2. Heat 1 c of pineapple juice until boiling. Remove from heat and add this to the mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
3. Spoon this into the bottom of each jelly jar. Cool for three hours in the refrigerator.
4. After three hours, repeat steps 1-3 using the orange carrot juice.
5. After another three hours, put the coconut yogurt and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl. Using a whisk or hand mixer, combine until the yogurt begins to stiffen a bit. Layer this atop each jar.
6. These can be served after adding the top layer, or they can return to the refrigerator for later.
7. 3. Top each pint jar with a layer of unflavored coconut yogurt. Serve cold.
