Notes
- This recipe makes a quantity of just over one cups worth of powdered sugar.
- You can use any type of starch for this recipe i.e arrowroot or even cornstarch.
- Feel free to substitute coconut sugar for raw cane sugar instead. I do this based on availability or depnding on what recipe I am making.
- Be sure to double or even triple the recipe if needed.
- You may notice that the colour of your frosting/buttercream or glaze will be a slightly tanned/light beige colour and not the traditional white porcelain white.
- For best results, use a high speed blender or spice grinder to pulverise the coconut sugar.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to several months.
- Only make what you need at any given time.
