Coconut oil is favored for cannabis infusions due to its high fat content, which helps extract cannabinoids effectively. Additionally, the neutral flavor of coconut oil allows the taste of the gummies to shine through without overpowering it.

Essential Ingredients

2/3 Cup Infused Coconut Oil: Use coconut oil infused with cannabis, ideally made using a Magical Butter Machine for consistency.
1 Pack of Flavored Jello (3 oz): Choose your favorite flavor for a delicious taste.
4 Unflavored Knox Gelatin Packs (3/4 oz each): This will provide the gummy texture.
2 TSP Sunflower Lecithin: This acts as an emulsifier, helping to blend the oil and gelatin.
1 TSP Lemon Juice or Lorann’s Mould Inhibitor: This helps prevent mold growth.
1 Cup Water or Fruit Juice: This adds flavor and moisture to the gummies.

Optional Ingredients

Lorann’s Flavoring (5-10 Drops): For an extra flavor boost.

Tools Required

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 mixing 1/2 cup of water (or juice) with the four packs of gelatin in a small bowl. Let it sit until it thickens, which indicates that the gelatin is bloomed and ready for use.

Step 2: Melt the Infused Coconut Oil

Using a double boiler, melt 2/3 cup of infused coconut oil over low heat. This gentle heating preserves the potency of the cannabinoids.

Step 3: Combine Ingredients

In a separate pot, bring the remaining 1/2 cup of water or juice to a boil. Add the flavored Jello and the lemon juice or mold inhibitor. Stir until fully dissolved.

Step 4: Mix Together

Carefully pour the Jello mixture into the melted coconut oil while whisking continuously. This ensures that the mixture is well combined without clumps.

Step 5: Add the Gelatin

Add the bloomed gelatin to the mixture in the double boiler. Whisk consistently for about 10 minutes to ensure everything is well blended and smooth.

Step 6: Fill the Molds

Use a Wilton Easy Pour Funnel or a squeeze bottle to fill your silicone molds with the gummy mixture. Work quickly to prevent the mixture from solidifying.

Step 7: Let Them Set

Allow the filled molds to sit for at least 30 minutes before removing the gummies. After they are removed, let them air dry for 24-72 hours to ensure they firm up properly and reduce moisture, which can lead to mold.

Once your gummies are fully dried, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Properly dried gummies can last 1-2 weeks. Ensure they are completely dried out to prevent mold growth.
