Steps
Place the sweetener and either cornstarch or arrowroot into your blender or food processor. (I highly recommend the Vitamix!).
Blend on high continuously until the mixture is of uniform powdered consistency. In a high-powered blender like the Vitamix this will take only about 30 seconds.
Keep the lid on the blender until the powder settles (or you might have powdered-sugar coated cabinets, depending on how much of a powdered-sugar cloud gets kicked up by your blender!)
Store in a cool, dry place.

Denise on 2025-12-17 (5 stars): Recipe sounds really good. I will be trying it. I got a giggle out of this so I am sharing. I use coconut sugar and stevia leaves... lol brown colored powdered sugar, lol can you see it. I don't think my family would take well to that. For myself I would do it.
Merry Christmas!
