3-Ingredient Orange Candy
These chewy, citrusy 3-ingredient orange candies are made with fresh orange juice, sugar, and cornstarch. Bright, glossy, and naturally flavorful, they’re the perfect quick homemade sweet.
Ingredients
- 1 cup 240ml fresh orange juice (strained)
- ½ cup 100g granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons 16g cornstarch
- Optional: powdered sugar for coating
Instructions
- Heat Base: In a saucepan, stir together orange juice and sugar over medium heat until dissolved.
- Thicken: Mix cornstarch with 2 tbsp water to make a slurry. Slowly add to the saucepan while stirring constantly. Cook until thick and glossy (10–15 minutes).

- Cut: Slice into cubes or strips. Optionally, coat in powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
