There are some recipes I make that I just absolutely fall in love with and these Keto Gummy Bears are definitely one of them. Easy, absolutely adorable, and keto.
One of my favorite flavors to use in some of my desserts is pandan. It’s very similar to vanilla but has its own distinct taste. You can find it at any Asian grocery store and it’s not costly. I keep it around since I enjoy using it as often as possible.
Why Your Whole Family Will Love These Gummy Bears
- Fast.
- Easy.
- Low Carb.
- Fun!
What You’ll Need To Make These Keto Gummy Bears
Before you get started, make sure you have these ingredients in your kitchen.
Of course, you can always substitute the flavor of pandan with a different extract or use a different mold, but then are they even really gummy bears?
- Gummy Bear Mold
- Full-Fat Coconut Milk
- Unflavored Gelatin
- Truvia
- Pandan Extract - You don’t have to use pandan for these Keto Milky Bears.
Bears made in that mold just taste better to me.
One important note that I would like to share about these Keto Milky Bears is that you don’t have to use the gummy bear mold if you don’t want to. I mean, it’s absolutely adorable which is why I love using it for this recipe, however, you can use any mold your heart desires.
I would just be sure to use a mold that makes them turn out in smaller portions rather than larger portions. For example, you don’t want to make this recipe the size of a cupcake, you’ll want it to be an easier snacking size.
Also, invest in the Pandan extract . You will thank me. I have several recipes that use pandan so you won’t have it sitting around for too long.
What Is Pandan
Pandan is a long, leafy green that’s found in Asia. It has a naturally sweet flavor and delicious aroma to it. That’s why it’s the perfect natural flavoring to use for these Keto Milky Bears. Not only is it a healthy, sweet flavoring that can be used in your dishes but, it’s a nice way to mix up your flavoring from time to time. You can try using it in place of your other extracts or even your vanilla if you want to explore a bit.
If you’ve never tried pandan before, that’s ok, most people have never even heard of it, much less tried it. This recipe is an easy one to try it and takes very little effort. These Keto Milky Bears are a delicious treat that curbs that sweet tooth craving while you’re trying to stay on track with your diet. These tasty little morsels won’t kill your diet and will even add a bit of nutrients to your day. Can you believe they only take five minutes to make?? I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Since most extracts and additional colors are going to be keto-friendly, you can use whichever combination of colors and extracts you like.
What Else Can I Use Pandan Extract For?
However, I definitely encourage you to try pandan since it’s absolutely divine. It’s similar to vanilla, as mentioned, but has its own flavor that I’m sure you’ll fall in love with. I have other recipes such as Coconut Pandan Chia Seed Pudding and Instant Pot Thai Coconut Pandan Custard that also uses this flavoring. Once you try pandan, you’ll understand my love for it.

Equipment
- GUMMY BEAR MOLD
- GREENPAN SAUCEPANS
- COOKIE SHEET
- STAINLESS STEEL MEASURING CUPS
- OVAL MEASURING SPOONS
Ingredients
- ▢ 1 13.5 ounce ( 1 ) Full-Fat Coconut Milk
- ▢ 2 packages ( 2 ) Unflavored Gelatin , (3 tablespoons)
- ▢ 1/4 cup ( 62.5 g ) Water
- ▢ 3 tablespoons ( 3 tablespoons ) Truvia
- ▢ 2-3 drops ( 2 ) Pandan Extract
Instructions
- Place 3 gummy bear molds on a cookie sheet. You will be making about 100 small little, cute bears with this recipe. If you do not have a mold, use any type of silicone mold for cupcakes or chocolates that you may have.
- Place water in a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin on the water. Set aside and allow it to soften.
- Meanwhile, In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk, Truvia, and pandan extract. When you see the small bubbles starting to form on the side of the coconut milk, whisk in the softened gelatin. Whisk until all the granules are gone, and you have a smooth mixture. A flat or wire whisk can make this task a lot easier.
- Using a dropper, fill a gummy bear mold with the coconut pandan mix. Move the cookie sheet to the refrigerator (this is the point you will thank me for having told you to use the cookie sheet. Moving a floppy mold full of liquid is not the most fun–unless you’re a doggy who got to lap up my mistake the first time I made these).
- Allow the bears to set overnight and then pop them out of their molds. If you want them chewier, place them uncovered in the refrigerator for another 3-4 hours so they dry out a bit. If not, enjoy as is.
- Makes 100 bears, a serving is 10 bears.

If you’re in the mood for a fast, easy, and totally delicious dessert, you’re going to love this Kheer recipe. It has all of the authentic flavors you would expect from a traditional Kheer in a fraction of the time.
In an attempt to be more efficient, I decided to try my hand at a is a fusion Kheer . A traditional kheer recipe is laborious, but it also uses basmati rice and milk that is painstakingly reduced over a low flame.
I, on the other hand, am impatient, and what’s more important, I had leftover coconut milk from making Korma so I had to come up with some use for it.
Why You’re Going To LOVE This Kheer Recipe
- Fast. Have dessert ready to eat in less than 30 minutes .
- Easy. Kheer is a simple pour and cook recipe your whole family will love.
- Delicious. Sweet, creamy, and yummy served hot or cold. What more could you ask for?
- Authentic tasting. While the method I used to make this Kheer recipe isn’t exactly authentic, the flavors are absolutely all there in this Indian dish .
What Does Kheer Taste Like?
One of the reasons I love kheer so much is because of the mellow, yet complex flavors you will enjoy with every bite. It is creamy and sweet, but not overly sweet as many dessert recipes can be.
What Are The Major Ingredients Of Kheer?
A basic Kheer is made with three main ingredients. They are rice, milk, and sugar. However, I like to add my own twist to almost every recipe I get my hands on. So, here’s what you’ll need to make my Kheer recipe :
- Arborio Rice
- Evaporated Milk
- Coconut Milk
- Water
- Sugar Or Other Sweetener Equivalent
- Raisins
- Raw cashews
- Saffron Strands
- Ground Cardamom
Can This Kheer Recipe Be Made Dairy-Free?
Yes. What I love the most about rice pudding is how you can easily turn it into a dairy-free recipe by omitting the evaporated milk. Simply substitute the evaporated milk with oat milk or another thick, non-dairy milk.
How To Make Kheer
- Place Aborio rice, evaporated milk, half the can of coconut milk, water, sugar, raisins, cashew, cardamom, and saffron into the Instant Pot.
- Close the lid and press PRESSURE COOK. Cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 20 minutes. Allow the pot to rest undisturbed for 10 minutes and then release all remaining pressure.
- When you open the pot, you’ll see a little bit of curdling, don’t worry about this. Mix everything together well.
- Add in remaining coconut milk and stir well. At this point, the saffron strands should start to yield their color as well., so the milk is going to take on a creamy texture as well as a creamy color.
How Do You Thicken Kheer?
When you cook the coconut milk under pressure, it will begin to slightly separate. This will cause the Kheer to become thicker.
As you stir the rice pudding together, this will incorporate the coconut milk back into the pudding that has separated and the flavor will be unchanged but the pudding will remain thick.
Do Eat Kheer Hot Or Cold?
You can eat it either way. Kheer is delicious hot or cold. Most people adjust the temperature to complement what the temperature is outside.
If it’s hot, I prefer a refreshing cool rice pudding. When it’s cold outside, a warm kheer is a nice treat to warm up with.
Can You Freeze Rice Pudding?
You CAN freeze rice pudding. However, I can’t say I’ve ever had any leftovers to want to try it myself.
If you want to freeze your kheer, store in a freezer-safe container in a thin layer. For the best results, date the container and eat within three months.
