Homemade Powdered Sugar
You’ll never run out again once you learn how to make homemade powdered sugar! This simple tutorial will save you money and time.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar use any kind you desire, white and cane will give you the best results, but you can also use coconut sugar or brown sugar (it’ll be a darker colour)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch optional - I never use this, but it’ll help prevent clumping and melting. It also helps with thickening.
Instructions
- Blend sugar (and cornstarch, if using) on high until powdery for at least 1 minute in a high powered blender, or slightly longer in a regular blender. Watch for the texture to change from a fine sugar to a powdered sugar as seen in the video.
- If you notice clumps, use a sift to break them up.
- Enjoy immediately where you’d use powdered sugar!

Notes
Storage: Always store your powdered sugar in a clean, dry, airtight container to protect it from humidity and moisture. Store it in a cool dry place and use it within 6 months. Stir or shake it before using, or sift it if it seems like there are some clumps.
Vegan-friendly white sugar: If you’re searching for vegan-friendly white sugar, you have two great options: beet sugar or USDA-certified organic sugar. Beet sugar is always vegan since it doesn’t undergo the refining process associated with animal products. Additionally, federal law requires that any activated charcoal used in organic food processing must be plant-based, ensuring that all organic sugar—including refined white cane sugar—is completely free of animal-derived ingredients.
