Ingredients and shopping list

Full batch: 4 listed servings.

120 mL Water
20 g Unflavored bovine or porcine gelatin; model 25 cal, 6 g protein, 10 mg sodium per 7 g
300 g Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
60 g Unflavored whey isolate; ready-to-eat, compare sodium

0.2 g Pure monk fruit extract powder; use label conversion, not cup-for-cup blend

Cooking instructions

Bloom gelatin in 80 mL cold water for 5 minutes. Heat the remaining 40 mL water until steaming and stir into the gelatin until fully dissolved. Blend yogurt, whey, cocoa, honey, vanilla and sweetener smooth. Cool gelatin to about 100 F while still liquid; whisk in 2 spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture, then quickly blend into the remaining yogurt. Spread in a small parchment-lined dish about 1/2 inch deep; chill 3-4 hours. Cut into small cubes and divide all the cubes into four equal portions by weight. Expect soft refrigerated yogurt-jelly chews, not shelf-stable chocolate fudge.

Meal-prep storage

Refrigerate covered at 40 F or below and use within 3 days. These moist homemade gummies are not shelf-stable. Do not leave out as packaged candy. Do not freeze for the intended texture.

Recipe notes

The measured honey helps flavor and texture; it is counted. Cocoa has some caffeine. Gelatin contributes some of the displayed protein.

New development recipe; texture, exact product labels and finished yield need kitchen validation.
