Sugar free powdered sugar - is it possible?

Yikes! That's really all I have to say about that! Ok - so this came from a few different sources... It's one cup splenda and one teaspoon corn starch that is run through the blender or food processor. So very messy and I was a bit surprised with the results.

The powder sugar was very, very sweet. When you run it through the blender or the processor, you want to make sure you cover it with a towel because you will get sugar dust everywhere. It's best to make one batch at a time, keeping in mind one batch results to 1/2 cup of powder sugar. The sugar will last in an air tight container for two months.

So, I used the powdered sugar the same way I would substitue splenda for sugar (1/2 cup splenda to 1 cup sugar). I made chocolate coconut snowballs (chocolate cupcakes, remove the liner, frost the whole cupcake with a cream cheese frosting that has powder sugar, small amount of butter and vanilla, then roll in coconut) using the sugar in the frosting. It was very sweet but you couldn't tell it was not real powder sugar.

I don't have a picture -will try for another time.

Enjoy - Be well!
