Maggie – can he do beet sugar? Either beet sugar or coconut crystals can be made into homemade powdered sugar!

My hubby is intolerent to cane sugar. He can have honey, agave, stevia (which I think is awful), coconut crystals and similar. We try to stay away from splenda and other artifical sweetners.

We use coconut oil in place of butter all the time. Here in the Caribbean it’s liquid at room temperature. (When we lived in Seattle it was always hard) If you live somewhere warm like we do and need to replace melted butter then it’s ready to go. If you need it to be more firm I measure the amount I need and put it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. This makes it more firm but still slightly soft. Tastes wonderful!

Maggie – what is your goal? Are you trying to cut sugar? Don’t have confectioner’s sugar on hand? What do you need help with? Obviously, in this recipe, the confectioner’s sugar is a pretty critical ingredient, but there are other frosting recipes I could suggest if I know what you’re looking for.

Is there a confectioner’s sugar alternative I could use in this recipe?

I would suggest using coconul oil (it’s solid at room temperature). It has a lovely, subtle flavor that’s definitely not “veggie.” Otherwise, palm oil shortening will work well.

Any other ideas for a tastier alternative to the Earth Balance, I can still always taste the “veggie” taste when I bake with it. Thanks!!!
