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.

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.

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 🙂
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!
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.
First time reading about you and your
Cooking. Will let you know after I try
some of your recipes. Tks
I hope you find recipes here that you love!
