Does anybody know of a LC alternative to powdered sugar? I want to make a cream cheese frosting.

Have you tried powdered eryrithol?

Hi,

No, but thanks for the suggestion. Have you tried it? What did you make with it?

Like many other l/c things, I bought a bag because I thought it would come in handy to eliminate the recrystalization tendency/grainy texture of regular eryrithol in icing. However, as I do not have a sweet tooth, I seldom make a dessert. As a result, the powdered eryrithol is on my l/c sweetener shelf of my storage shelving awaiting an opportunity to actually try it. I have seen good reviews of it, so I have no reason to think it will not work as a powdered sugar substitute.

I don't know what recipe you are using, but the one I use for cream cheese frosting works really well with splenda. I've made it several times and it's a hit with everyone, whether or not they are low carbing.

Thanks to you both for the suggestions!!!!

I didn't think the Splenda would act like powdered sugar since it is finely grounded but I am trying to make a creamcheese icing and will try it as well as the eryrithol.
