Make Your Own Powdered Sugar

categories: DIY Foods

Have you ever made your own powdered sugar? Once you find out how ridiculously easy it is to do, you’ll wonder why you ever bought that stuff in a bag.

Powdered Sugar

One of the main reasons I like making my own powdered sugar, is because I can make it unrefined. I prefer using natural sweeteners in my cooking and baking, such as real maple syrup or honey, but when a recipe absolutely has to have a granulated sugar to turn out successful, then I turn to coconut palm sugar. Coconut sugar is a low glycemic non-fructose sweetener, so it doesn’t put stress on your blood sugar levels the same way that cane sugar does. Coconut sugar is also unrefined, so it retains all of its natural minerals and vitamins.

Unrefined Powdered Sugar

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut palm sugar
  • 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder {Optional, but makes the final product more like processed powdered sugar}

Directions

  • Pour the ingredients into a coffee grinder or high powered blender. Turn it on and you should have powdered sugar in a matter of seconds.
  • Use as you normally would powdered sugar.
