I finally got myself a freezer dryer

- it’s been on my wish list for a while now, to make my own freeze dried fruit for the bakery.

BUT it comes with other fun benefits!! If you have food restrictions like me, you’ve probably been left out of the fun freeze dried candy trend. Until NOW. I freeze dried some Dandies marshmallows (which may be my favourite thing we’ve run in the machine so far!!) they turn out addictively crunchy & so good. I packed some into bags if you want to try some too.

I current have a test batch running to see if we can offer you freeze dried vegan ice cream bites, and vegan caramel apple slices, and also see what happens to our butter tart filling, and some other things…

Next up, I’m going to see if we can make better-for-you freeze dried gummies using our homemade honey-sweetened gummy bears & worms. If this works, it would be so fun to make a bag of different fruit gummies - freeze dried fruit salad gummies!?!

I’ve seen people freeze dry oreos - maybe gf ones would work? Pudding bites, choc dipped freeze dried strawberries or bananas?

What else should we try in here?

(Disclaimer: I didn’t freeze dry the marshmallows like that) you have to spread them out nicely on the trays, lol)
