Quite a few of my recipes that are completely grain free, dairy free and/or gluten free yet still have lucious frostings made with regular powdered sugar. Don’t get me wrong, they’re absolutely delicious as is, but I know many of you are looking to stick to all natural sweeteners in your baking recipes.

Watch me make paleo powdered sugar:
How to make paleo powdered sugar:
- Add 1 cup paleo friendly sugar of choice to a blender.
- Blend on high until it has a powder-like texture.
- If you’d like it more ‘powder-like’, I suggest adding 1 tablespoon tapioca starch or arrowroot starch to the blender. This really helps to get it to be similar to regular powdered sugar.

This powdered sugar recipe was a disaster. First of all, after blending the coconut sugar in my vitamix, a smoke like dust came out and literally my smoke alarm went off. Second, after putting the “powdered sugar” in my frosting, it tasted terrible and made the frosting terribly thin. I do not recommend this recipe.
Hi! I am sorry this recipe did not turn out for you. It sounds like you might have over blended the sugar.
Can you or have you ever used a food processor instead of a blender to do your powdered sugar? I don’t have a Vitamix, but I have a very strong food processor. Thnak you in advance!
That should work!
I made this today for a frosting recipe…..YES!!! It was a success!! I’ve tried various ways to make vegan, cane sugar free frosting and every other one failed. Thank you!!
Perfect!! So happy to hear that 🙂
