Excellent healthier substitute for icing sugar
I have been using this sweetener for some time now, so I 'know' it better, as well as its uses. While I stand by what I said before in my not-so-lengthy review: "GREAT substitute for powdered sugar in Trim Healthy Mama icings on healthy desserts!", I have more to say about it now. PROS: Uses a sugar alcohol called Erythritol, which is non-toxic to animals, a natural ingredient which does not negatively impact one's glycemic level Very finely powdered to substitute for powdered confectioner's sugar (or icing sugar, depending on where you're from) Measures cup for cup like powdered sugar in recipes In a sugar-free diet, such as a "trim healthy" one, this is a calorie saver! CONS: Not a lot in a bag, but the 3-pack mitigates that inconvenience If you aren't careful, it will go every-dadgummed-where - to accommodate for that, I recommend spooning or pouring it into your measuring cup with a piece of dry wax paper to help corral the mess in case you are a messy baker like me; AND, I recommend gently spooning it into your mixer when incorporating into a recipe so there is less sugar dust raised. Also - do NOT start the mixer on high speed.... unless you like messes. These are all suggestions I recommend for regular icing sugar, too, by the way. All in all - this is an excellent substitute for highly processed cane sugar if you are trying to live a trim and healthy lifestyle. I keep coming back and buying more, so that should tell you something!
