Sugar-free Frosting?
My DS2 has not had white sugar. I'm making an applesauce cake that I usually frost with this:
Maple Nut Frosting 3 cups powdered sugar 1/3 cup coconut oil, softened ½ cup maple syrup Any ideas on how to de-sugar it? No dairy, soy or wheat, either Last edited by bananacake; 11-24-2010 at 11:04 AM. |

Re: Sugar-free Frosting?
Date sugar? Or are you looking for no types of sugar at all?

Re: Sugar-free Frosting?
If you are ok with dairy you can take a block of cream cheese and mix with a hand mixer till fluffy and put on cake like that. You can add a little maple to flavor if you want

Re: Sugar-free Frosting?
2 options from thespunkycoconut.com
Frosting: Puree: 2 cups walnuts that have been soaked at least 3 hours, and strained 2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 cup honey 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp cashew milk Frosting: Melt over double boiler: 1.5 bars of 3.2 oz dark chocolate (about 3/4 cup of chocolate chips) 3/4 cup coconut milk When the chocolate has just barely melted, remove from heat. Add: 2 tbsp honey 10 drops liquid stevia 2 to 4 tbsp coconut flour, sifted. Refrigerate until the frosting has cooled, about 15 minutes. (You know it's ready when it is the texture of frosting.) I've actually made the second one. |

Re: Sugar-free Frosting?
I haven't made it yet, but I have two friends who rave about this.
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/a...ipe/index.html They use powdered sucanat instead of powdered sugar. |

Re: Sugar-free Frosting?
So how do they get powdered sucanat? Do they buy it or do they put sucanat in the food processor? Looks yummy!

Re: Sugar-free Frosting?
you can put the sucanat in a blender or coffee grinder.
