When you’re enjoying a healthful eating lifestyle like Trim Healthy Mama or keto, there may be an occasion where you want to make something that requires a powdered sugar alternative. You can buy something like powdered Swerve, but sometimes it’s easier or more budget friendly to simply make your own powdered sweetener.

Uses for Powdered Sweetener

• Dusting desserts or plates for desserts to make it look pretty or fancy or like it has a snow effect (think Christmas).
• Making icing (might I recommend my Sugar Free No Cook Swiss Meringue Buttercream icing recipe).
• Creating recipes where you don’t want grittiness (think Skinny Chocolate).
• Adding to beverages or other liquids (powdered sweetener more readily dissolves).
• Making other desserts or sweet things that just need a powdered sweetener.
• Shaking it onto people’s heads when they’re not looking so it looks like they have major dandruff issues.
• Whatever else you want. It’s your powdered sweetener.

How to Make Powdered Sweetener

What You Need

• low carb sweetener (some ideas: stevia, erythritol, xylitol, Gentle Sweet, Super Sweet, Swerve, monk fruit, kabocha)
• quality food processor, blender, or coffee grinder

What You Do

1. Measure out about HALF the amount of granulated sweetener as you’ll need powdered (it fluffs up and expands a bit).
2. Pour into a powderful, quality food processor, blender, or coffee grinder (some machines may not work as well as others).
3. Pulse until a poofy, powdered, legal substance results.
4. Wait for the poofy-ness to settle before removing the lid.
5. Re-measure to ensure there’s enough then use as you must.
