Powdered Coconut Sugar Recipe
This homemade powdered coconut sugar is an easy alternative to traditional powdered sugar made with just two simple ingredients. Coconut sugar and arrowroot powder are blended until fine and powdery, creating a rich, caramel-flavored sweetener that's perfect for frostings, glazes, and baked goods.
Equipment
- 1 High speed blender or food processor
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp arrowroot flour or sub cornstarch
Instructions
- Add the coconut sugar and arrowroot powder (or corn starch) to a high-speed blender or coffee grinder.
- Blend for about 30–60 seconds, or until the coconut sugar has transformed from granules into a very fine powder. You may want to start at low speed before increasing the speed. Rub a little between your fingers. It should have a soft, powdery consistency rather than feeling like granulated sugar. If it's still gritty, blend again until fine. Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container for storage.
Notes
- Use a high-speed blender: A high-powered blender or coffee grinder will give you the finest, most powdery consistency.
- Blend longer if needed: If you can still feel granules when rubbing the sugar between your fingers, blend for another 15–30 seconds.
- Make small batches: Smaller amounts tend to blend more evenly and make it easier to achieve a fine texture.
- Expect a darker color: Powdered coconut sugar will naturally be tan or light brown and have a richer, caramel-like flavor than traditional powdered sugar.
- Store it airtight: Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to help prevent moisture and clumping.
