Splenda has this recipe on their website. I haven't tried it, but Splenda has

worked so well in everything else I've tried, I'd be willing to give it a shot.

Splenda " Powdered Sugar "

Preparation Time 5 minutes

Makes approx. 1/2 cup

3/4 cup SPLENDA Granular

2 Tbsp. Cornstarch

Place ingredients in blender jar.

Cover and blend until SPLENDA Granular is a

very fine powder.

Use instead of powdered sugar for garnishing cakes and pastries.

- I am the cook in the family and have made lots of recipes using

SugarLike which comes in both granulated sugar as well as brown sugar. I get

this from www.vitalady.com. It's wonderful tasting. I use it in my cookies,

brownies, and pies and nobody can tell the difference. I hope this helps you.

Subject: Powdered sugar substitute

I was looking at numerous recipes on Cookinglight.com

and was intrigued by several dessert recipes.

While I know sugar is a bad, five letter word, it's

easy enough to substitute regular sugar and even the

brown sugar. However, is anyone familiar with a

powdered sugar substitute?

Some of the recipes can be fairly healthful when the

sugar is substituted.

I'm not looking to have dessert everday, just once in

awhile and for special occasions. I need to make

something for my mom's birthday this weekend (she's

also a gastric bypass patient).

Thanks!

And I can vouch for the YUMMY brownies that Tina makes!! She brought some

over when I was staying with Vitalady after my TT/revision and boy were they

good. I've used SugarLike for about 2 years now in my own baking and it's

wonderful, no one ever guesses that it's sugar free unless I tell them.

Ya know, anyone who didn't know we were talking about brown sugar lumps

might wonder about that sentence....

But what I do is put it on my oatmeal or flaxmeal, and the moisture in the

hot cereal lumps it right up, usually. Or if I'm really fiending, I lick a

spoon and stick it in the Brown SugarLike -- makes a lump that almost

doesn't come off the spoon, so you get a small amount of exercise from the

effort of getting that spoon shiny clean.

One of my favorite places for the brown SugarLike is on top of half an acorn

squash, baked or microwaved, with a little cinnamon. I eat it right out of

the shell and don't even share. Then I go chain myself to the bathroom

(SugarLike and winter squashes have the same effect on me, so it's a

double-whammy! LOL!)

Squash is not food. But Don is under the delusion that it is, so I've

cooked 'em for him that way. The added cinnamon sounds like a nice touch.

But just put it on bread & don't hurt my eyeballs by making me look at

squash.

ROFL! Squash is TOO a food -- and I will eat any variety, any time. Mini

pumpkins are the best. Acorns are a close second. But if I have to, I will

eat frozen squash. Or pumpkin right out of the can (yeah, I'm a squash perv

too). To really make you cringe, I once decided that if I was going to eat

pumpkin that way, I should at least get some protein out of it, so I blended

in a scoop of Sci Fit coconut and poured DaVinci pancake syrup over the

whole mess. (But I didn't top it off with a peep!)
