Description
These Blueberry & Coconut Gummies are a delicious and healthy treat for your furry friend. Made with only a few simple ingredients, they are easy to prepare and perfect for pampering your dog!
Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Puree:
- ½ cup pureed blueberries (fresh or frozen, blended until smooth)
Coconut Oil Mixture:
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- (Optional) 1 tablespoon honey (for dogs without blood sugar issues)
Instructions
- Puree Blueberries: In a blender or food processor, blend the blueberries until you have a smooth puree. You can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the skins for an ultra-smooth texture, but it’s not necessary.
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine the blueberry puree, coconut oil, and optional honey. Warm the mixture over low heat, stirring until the coconut oil has just melted. Do not let it boil.
- Bloom Gelatin: Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the warm liquid. Let it sit for one minute to “bloom,” which means it absorbs the liquid and becomes gelatinous.
- Whisk Smooth: After a minute, begin to whisk the mixture continuously over low heat for 2-3 minutes until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is completely smooth with no granules.
- Pour into Molds: Carefully pour or spoon the liquid into your silicone molds. Tap the mold gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Chill Until Set: Place the filled mold in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until the gummies are completely firm to the touch.
- Pop Out and Serve: Once set, pop the gummies out of the mold. Serve one to your delighted pup and store the rest in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- Make sure the gummies are fully set before trying to remove them from the molds.
- Adjust honey quantity based on your dog’s dietary needs.
