I usually make a batch of homemade fruit snacks once or twice a month so I have healthy snacks on hand for my kids. This week we’re making Vanilla Bean & Coconut Gummy Snacks.
My babies like to eat these between meals or for dessert. I enjoy blending 1-2 of them into my coffee (tastes like coconut vanilla latte!). 🙂
This recipe comes together really quickly. You just need to give the gummies some time to set before snacking on them.
How To Make Coconut Gummy Snacks
To get started you’ll need gelatin powder (I used great lakes), full fat coconut milk, vanilla and a sweetener. You may use any sweetener in this recipe. I’ve used raw honey, organic sugar, stevia and swerve.
1: Mix 1/2 a can of coconut milk with the gelatin. Mix the gelatin into the milk and let it sit for a few minutes. The gelatin will “bloom” and absorb the coconut milk.
2: Stir in the vanilla (I used vanilla beans) and your sweetener.
3: Next you’ll bring the other half of the coconut milk to a boil and pour it over the gelatin mixture.
4: Use a whisk to mix the gelatin batter vigorously. Make sure all the gelatin has melted and there aren’t any clumps.
Get your molds ready to fill! I use a turkey baster to fill the silicon molds.
Refrigerate the gummy snacks until they’re all set. Pop them out of the molds and store in an air-tight container. Enjoy!

Hi! This is an awesome idea, but I think the amount of gelatin is about 2 to 2.5 times too low. As it is these are tasty, but much more like a jello treat than a gummy. For actual gummies, I’d recommend using at least 6 tablespoons of gelatin instead of 3.

Love the colors to this Dessert. Sounds interesting too. Surely tasty and great as a party option too. Looks colorful and cute as well
I’m assuming that step 3 should actually read 1/2 can, rather than 1/2 C coconut milk. I’m trying them less sweet. Have you tried any other variations like with lime juice or cacao powder? Reminds me of something similar (but more involved) that I’ve made that tastes like key lime pie.
Yes! Thank you for pointing that out. I think lime would be amazing. Cocoa powder would be nice too, chocolate gummies 😉
Just made this with vanilla essence and vanilla pods and they are the yummiest, creamiest gummies I’ve ever tasted. In a word, delicious! I nearly ate them all in one sitting. Thanks for the recipe.

I’m so glad you liked them! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment 🙂
Normally I make these with stevia but I’m on an elimination diet at the moment so made them with organic coconut milk and honey (no vanilla). Delicious!

What kind of texture does this have? Do you think it would work well as a layer in a layered gelatin dish? Looks delicious!
Thank you so much for the recipe. If I use xantham gum, would they last in my daughter’s lunch box for about 5 hours? Or do you have a better suggestion? Thank you in advanced ?
I have made this twice using Vital Protein, but, cannot get it to “set”. I followed the directions on your website. What I am missing? It does taste good even in liquid form.
Are you using collagen peptides or gelatin?
Do glad I found your site. Can’t get enough of coconut so I have found my heaven! Was getting a little tired of blueberry lemon gummies..coconut and vanilla..yum yum
is there a vegan substitute for the gellatin
Agar agar can be used instead of gelatin.
where can i find molds like the ones in your photo?:)

Tiffany suggested to pour into molds or into a Pyrex pan. I searched in Amazon, maybe you can search better. Blessings! (“cookie cutters BPA free”)
Do you know if I can use Hydrolyzed collagen instead?
I have been trying to understand about collagen which one is which. Tiffany has this and I think I’m staring to understand more. Hope this helps!! https://thecoconutmama.com/homemade-fruit-snacks/
Hi Adrienne,
I’m sorry I missed your comment! To answer your question, no. Hydrolyzed Collagen doesn’t gel. I explain the differences between gelatin and collagen peptides here:https://thecoconutmama.com/gelatin-health-benefits-and-uses/
Thank you in my behalf! Lately, I have been back and forth in your page trying to figure this out. I have seen this explanation before, but I have forgotten where I saw it…LOL! I have to make a decision and buy these products to help my family and I’m more clear now and closer of making a choice. Thank you for the love you put in your work!! Blessings!!! Your daughter Mya is ADORABLE!!!
Hi. Would raw milk work? Or does only coconut milk work? I havent tried this but would love to, I just can’t find any coconut milk that’s only coconut, with nothing else.
Alternatively, Would homemade coconut milk work? Looking forward to your reply so that I can make this! 🙂
You could use milk but you won’t get the yummy coconut flavor. Trader Joe’s and Natural Value both make coconut milk with just coconut and water.
Where do you get the full fat coconut milk? And the beef gelatin ?

How many would be a serving?
I made this last night for the first time and they are sooooo good. It will now be a regular in my fridge.
Love this recipie. Soooooo good.
I used normal gelatine and it worked our perfectly. In the fridge with my coconuts bombs.
Coconut Mama you are awesome! Thank you for all your hard work putting these recipes together for me. Saving me a lot of trial and error. Haven’t had a chance to try any yet but they look like they will work. I need to secure more coconut flour and milk . So while I wait for shipments I search for recipes…. Whats taking that mailman?
I was wondering- is this the coconut milk in a can that is very very thick and creamy? If not, do you need to dilute it first?
★★★★★
Full fat coconut milk means in the can, not the coconut milk drink in a box, correct?
★★★★
Did you ever find out? I need to know, as well

Love these coconut recepies
YUM. Usually when I make gelatin gummies or bars like this I add something to completely change the flavor of the coconut milk like raw cacao powder to cinnamon and pumpkin puree. Just adding a little bit of vanilla sounds divine. I will definitely have to give this a try for my next batch of gelatin snacks!
This is my second try and they won’t gel. I used the green can of great lakes, is that my problem? Help please.
The green doesn’t gel up! You need to use gelatin (red canister).
