    I'm so excited to share this tutorial post with you all. It's been quite some time since I posted a "tutorial" or "how to" on the blog but this one in particular, I thought would be worth while and since it's so easy and yet important especially if you enjoy baking and looking for more healthier options, then this recipe will be a keeper.

    I have a sweet tooth like the average person and I'm also partial to some frosting on my cupcakes but what do you do if the recipes calls for icing sugar that is bleached and totally refined?

    Well I have the perfection solution for that, learn to make your own powdered coconut sugar from scratch. Some of you may already to aware that I love homemade alternatives.

    Anything from Seafood seasoning to making my own vegetable/stock broth  .You name it and I will do my best to make a homemade version of it.

    How to make powdered coconut sugar

    My powdered sugar recipe calls for my favourite low glycemic sweetener which is coconut sugar.

    Although I haven't tried it myself you should be able to use any granulated low carb/GI sweetener of your choice and the good news is you'll only need 2 ingredients - coconut sugar and tapioca starch meaning you can produce the finished results in a matter of minutes.

    Feel free to double or triple the batch accordingly to your specific needs and use in place of confectioners sugar.

    Just make sure to use a high speed blender (vitamix dry container), spice/coffee grinder or a food processor that has the ability to finely mill the sugar into a powder form.

     

    Ways to use it

    • In hot drinks
    • Dusting cakes i.e I recently made this Orange and Almond Cake which I'm sure it would work for. Alternatively, try it on my Coconut Cake or Ginger Cake or My Sugar Cookies or these Vegan Pistachio Cookies.

    Notes and tips

    • For best results, use a high speed blender or spice grinder to pulverise the coconut sugar.
    • If you can use another low carb sweetener i.e monkfruit, stevia, erythritol etc...
    • Store any leftovers in an airtight container for several months
    • Double/triple the batch as required
    • Only make what you need at any given time.
    • If you don't have tapioca starch, use arrowroot instead.
