How To Make Sugar Free Icing For Cookies

Make your delectable cookies guilt-free with this sugar-free icing to go on top!

When I started thinking about how to make sugar free icing for cookies, I thought  it was pretty impossible. Honey doesn’t solidify like that, and with stevia you can’t make a crunchy icing for sure.

I had some cookies that I purposely kept very low in sweetness because I wanted to decorate them with a colorful icing… And since sugar was out of question, I had to come up with a perfect replacement…

After carefully inspecting my sugar free pantry, erythritol seemed to be the key!!

Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that despite having no calories retains 70% of the sweetness of sugar and it has the same exact consistency! It crystallize beautifully and it allows you to create a crunchy icing to add flavor to your cookies!

The quantities you’ll find in this sugar free icing recipe are purposely small because they are meant for dividing the glaze into three different flavors… and  I only had 11 cookies to glaze!

If you need to make more take a look at the video and you’ll see how easy it is to adjust the quantities according to the number of cookies you need your sugar free icing for.
