– Use granulated style splenda rather than the standard sweetener formulation used in coffee sachets.
– You can substitute cornstarch with flour, but each teaspoon of cornstarch will be replaced by two teaspoons of flour. However, it is recommended you use the former, since both cornstarch and flour offer the same number of calories, so the using latter will only increase the amount of calories in your sugar. Moreover, cornstarch gives your sugar a much more coarser texture than flour, hence giving you more satisfaction.
– You can also use this homemade low calorie powdered sugar to make a frosting. Just beat eight ounces of cream with ¼ cup of light butter. Mix 1 tsp of vanilla extract and half cup of powdered sugar into it. Fold it in chopped nuts and serve.
