Strawberry cream gummies are the easiest little treat you didn't know you needed. Just heat, pour, and chill-no fancy techniques, no waiting forever. The sugar-free strawberry jel gives them that nostalgic fruity flavor, while a splash of heavy cream adds a creamy, almost milkshake-like finish. The best part? They pop right out of the mold, perfectly chewy and ready to snack on. Try not to eat them all at once… or do. I won't judge! Also great for Valentine's Day.

Keto Strawberry Cream Gummies Recipe
Getting this recipe just right took me about 6 tries-yes, 6! I originally wanted to make these with a raspberry jel dessert, but I ran out and had to make it with strawberry. Turns out, that was a happy accident because you can use any flavor, and they will taste amazing. I even tested it with orange, and let me tell you, it was delightful. The key was finding an ACTUAL sugar-free jel dessert, which is why I used Simply Delish. Unlike regular Jell-O, it doesn't have aspartame, and I could easily tweak the texture by adding gelatin to get that perfect gummy chew.
Speaking of chewiness, if you like your gummies extra firm, just add more gelatin! I found that 4 teaspoons gave them just the right amount of bounce without being too rubbery. The addition of heavy cream was my way of turning these into a keto fat bomb-because if I'm going to snack on something, I might as well add some healthy fats, right? The cream also softens the texture just slightly, making these a little richer and smoother than your average gummy candy.
This recipe has actually been on my blog for years, tucked inside my fat bomb recipe list in my usual shorthand narrative format. But it felt like it finally deserved its own post. It's too good (and too easy!) not to share properly. If you've got a silicone mold and 3 minutes, you're about to have the simplest sugar free & keto treat ever-just heat, pour, and chill!
Ingredients for Keto Strawberry Cream Gummies
- Sugar-Free Jel Dessert - This gives the gummies their fruity flavor and color while helping them set up properly. I used Simply Delish because it's truly sugar-free and doesn't contain aspartame like Jell-O. You can use any flavor you like-strawberry, raspberry, orange, or even lime for a fun twist!
- Gelatin - The key to that perfect gummy texture! Unflavored gelatin firms up the gummies and gives them that classic chew. If you like your gummies extra firm and bouncy, add an extra teaspoon. If you want them softer, reduce it slightly.
- Heavy Whipping Cream - This adds a creamy, almost velvety texture and turns these into a keto fat bomb with a little boost of healthy fats. If you prefer a dairy-free version, swap it with full-fat coconut cream for a tropical twist.
- Water - Helps dissolve the gelatin and jel dessert for a smooth mixture. I use cold water to prevent clumping when mixing everything together. If you want a stronger flavor, you can replace some or all of the water with unsweetened almond milk or even a flavored electrolyte drink for a little extra boost.

FAQs about Keto Strawberry Cream Gummies
- Can I use Jell-O instead of Simply Delish? You can, but keep in mind that regular Jell-O contains aspartame, which some people prefer to avoid. Simply Delish is a true sugar-free option without artificial sweeteners.
- How do I make the gummies chewier? For a firmer, chewier gummy, add an extra teaspoon of gelatin. If you prefer a softer, more jiggly texture, reduce the gelatin slightly.
- Can I make these dairy-free? Yes! Swap the heavy whipping cream for full-fat coconut cream to keep the creamy texture while making them completely dairy-free.
- What other flavors can I use? Any flavor of sugar-free jel dessert works! I've tried orange and it was amazing. Raspberry, lime, or even lemon would also be delicious.
- How do I store these gummies? Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They hold their shape best when chilled.
- Can I freeze these gummies? Freezing isn't ideal since the texture can change once thawed, but they're so quick to make that you probably won't need to!
- Can I use a different mold? Absolutely! Silicone molds work best for easy removal, but you can also pour the mixture into a shallow dish and cut it into squares once set.
- Why is my mixture clumping when I heat it? Make sure to whisk everything together before heating and use low heat. If needed, stir constantly to help the gelatin dissolve smoothly.
- Can I add sweetener? You shouldn't need to, as the sugar-free jel dessert is already sweetened. But if you like a little extra sweetness, you can stir in a keto-friendly sweetener like allulose or monk fruit before heating.
- Can I use almond milk instead of water? Yes! Replacing the water with unsweetened almond milk can add a subtle richness and extra creaminess to the gummies.
Hope you give these keto strawberry cream gummies a try! They're ridiculously easy to make, fun to customize, and the perfect little snack when you want something sweet without the carbs. Let me know what flavor you go with-I'd love to hear how they turn out! Enjoy!
