Butterfly Pea Crystal Collagen Gummies
Share
These gummies take the "beauty from within" idea and make it literal — collagen peptides folded into a chewy, jewel-toned base that gets its deep blue-violet color naturally from butterfly pea. A fun, low-effort way to make a beauty ritual out of something that actually tastes like candy.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Queen Omi Organic Butterfly Pea Powder
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 3 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 scoops (about 20g) unflavored collagen peptides
- 3 tbsp honey, warmed slightly
- Juice of 1/2 lemon (optional, for a color-shift swirl)
Instructions
- Whisk the butterfly pea powder with the hot water until fully dissolved into a concentrate.
- Pour the cold water into a small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface. Let bloom for 5 minutes.
- Warm the saucepan over low heat, stirring until the gelatin fully dissolves — do not boil.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the collagen peptides, honey, and butterfly pea concentrate until completely smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a small silicone mold or a shallow dish lined with parchment.
- If using lemon juice, drizzle it lightly over the top and swirl gently with a toothpick for a marbled pink-and-blue effect.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set and firm to the touch.
- Pop out of the mold, or slice into small squares if using a dish.
Note: Store gummies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
