Instructions
- Prepare Jellyfish Gummies:
- In a saucepan, heat fruit juice and sugar over low heat until sugar dissolves. Sprinkle gelatin over the mixture and stir until fully dissolved. Add food coloring and lemon juice. Pour into jellyfish shaped silicone molds (or round molds for the body and a shallow mold for the tentacles). Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until set.
- Prepare Decorative Jellies:
- In a separate saucepan, heat coconut water and sugar until warm. Stir in gelatin and desired food coloring. Pour into shallow molds or a baking dish. Chill for 30 minutes, then cut into seaweed or wave shapes.
- Assemble the Platter:
- On a large serving tray, arrange the jellyfish gummies as the centerpiece. Attach gummy worms and candy belts as tentacles beneath each jellyfish body. Scatter decorative jellies, rock candy, and candy pearls around to resemble underwater scenery.
- Serve:
- Keep chilled until ready to serve for best texture and presentation.

Recipe FAQs
- → What alternatives can I use instead of gelatin?
Agar-agar is a great vegetarian substitute for gelatin, though it may set faster and yield a slightly different texture.
- → How can I add vibrant colors to the gummies?
Natural food colorings like blueberry, beetroot, or spirulina extracts work well to achieve bright ocean-inspired hues.
- → What molds are recommended for shaping the jellyfish gummies?
Silicone jellyfish molds are ideal, but round molds for bodies and shallow molds for tentacles can also be used creatively.
- → How long does the setting process take?
The gummies and jellies should be refrigerated for at least 30 minutes each until fully set before assembling.
- → Can this platter be prepared ahead of time?
Yes, the components can be made and chilled several hours beforehand, keeping the final assembly chilled until serving.
