Coconut oil is a versatile oil that is rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are known for their potential health benefits. In the context of cannabis-infused products, coconut oil serves as an excellent carrier for cannabinoids, enhancing their absorption and effectiveness. Its natural sweetness and smooth texture also make it an ideal ingredient for creating flavorful gummies.

To make your own canna gummies with coconut oil, you will need the following ingredients:

Basic Ingredients

2/3 Cup Infused Coconut Oil (made using the Magical Butter Machine or another infusion method)
1 Pack of Flavored Jello (3 oz, any flavor you prefer)
4 Unflavored Knox Gelatin Packs (3/4 oz packets)
2 TSP Sunflower Lecithin (granulated or liquid)
1 TSP Lemon Juice (or Lorann’s Mould Inhibitor)
1 Cup Water or Fruit Juice
Optional: Lorann’s Flavoring (5-10 drops)

Tools Needed

Silicone gummy molds
Whisk
Small bowl
3 Stove Top Pots (1 large, 1 medium, 1 small)
Measuring cups and spoons
Wilton Easy Pour Funnel or Squeeze Bottle & Funnel

Step 1: Bloom the Gelatin

Start by blooming your gelatin. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of water or juice with the four packs of powdered gelatin. Let it sit until it thickens and becomes gel-like.

Step 2: Melt the Infused Coconut Oil

In a double boiler, melt your 2/3 cup of infused coconut oil. Keep the heat low to avoid burning the oil.

Step 3: Combine Ingredients

Once the coconut oil is melted, add the sunflower lecithin and mix well. In a separate pot, bring the remaining 1/2 cup of water or juice to a boil, then add the flavored Jello and the mold inhibitor.

Step 4: Mix Everything Together

Carefully pour the Jello mixture into the melted coconut oil and whisk until well combined. Then, add the bloomed gelatin and any additional flavoring, whisking consistently for about 10 minutes to ensure there are no clumps.

Step 5: Fill the Molds

Using a funnel or squeeze bottle, quickly fill your silicone molds with the gummy mixture. Work swiftly to prevent the mixture from solidifying.

Step 6: Let Them Set

Allow the filled molds to sit for at least 30 minutes. Afterward, carefully remove the gummies and place them on a wire rack or cutting board to air dry.

Step 7: Air Drying

Let the gummies air dry for 24-72 hours to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial to prevent mold growth. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge once fully dried.

How Long Do Canna Gummies Last?

When properly dried and stored in an airtight container, canna gummies can last for 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator. For longer shelf life, consider using a food dehydrator to remove moisture more efficiently.

Can I Use Other Oils Instead of Coconut Oil?

While coconut oil is highly recommended for its flavor and ability to bind well with cannabinoids, you can experiment with other oils. However, be aware that the taste and texture of your gummies may change.

How Do I Know the Dosage of My Gummies?

The potency of your gummies will depend on the strength of your infused coconut oil. It's essential to calculate the total amount of cannabinoids in your oil and divide it by the number of gummies you make to determine the dosage per gummy.

Making canna gummies with coconut oil is a fun and rewarding process that allows you to enjoy the benefits of cannabis in a delicious form. By following this simple recipe, you can create your own customized gummies that suit your taste preferences and potency needs. Remember to be patient during the drying process to ensure your gummies stay fresh and mold-free. Happy gummy-making!
