Print Recipe

Creepy, shiny, and low-carb, these keto lemon-lime collagen jelly eyeballs are the perfect Halloween treat. They’re sugar-free, wobbly, and fun to make with just a few ingredients. Great for parties, pranks, or spooky desserts that still fit your keto goals.

Ingredients

Scale

For the base jelly:

  • 1 cup cold water

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 2 tbsp lime juice

  • 2 tbsp collagen powder (unflavored or lemon-lime)

  • 2 tbsp erythritol or any keto sweetener

  • 2 ½ tsp unflavored gelatin

  • Pinch of salt

For the eyeball design:

  • Natural food coloring (green, yellow, black)

  • 1 tbsp coconut cream (for cloudy “white” effect)

  • Sugar-free gummy candies or blueberries (for pupils, optional)

Instructions

  1. Bloom gelatin: Pour ¼ cup cold water into a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over the top and let sit 5 minutes.

  2. Heat mixture: In a small saucepan, combine remaining ¾ cup water, lemon juice, lime juice, erythritol, and salt. Warm gently until sweetener dissolves (do not boil).

  3. Combine: Add bloomed gelatin and stir until fully melted. Then mix in collagen powder until smooth.

  4. Color layers:

    • Divide a small amount of jelly into a bowl and tint with green or yellow for the iris.

    • Leave the rest plain or mix in coconut cream for a milky look.

  5. Assemble molds:

    • Drop one blueberry or candy piece in each mold cavity (for the pupil).

    • Add a small amount of colored gelatin for the iris layer. Chill 15–20 minutes.

    • Pour the cloudy mixture on top to fill molds.

  6. Chill: Refrigerate for 3–4 hours, or until firm.

  7. Unmold: Gently press out the eyeballs. If needed, dip the mold bottom in warm water for a few seconds to loosen.

  8. Serve: Arrange on a platter or float in a punch bowl for a spooky effect.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the gelatin bloom step, or the texture will be off.

  • Adjust sweetness before chilling — once set, you can’t fix the flavor.

  • Use flexible silicone molds for best results.

  • Keep chilled until serving; they hold shape best when cold.

  • For “bloodshot” eyes, use a toothpick and red food coloring before the final pour.
