What is the xylitol equivalent of sugar? I make custard using 1/2 cup sugar, 2 cups coconut milk &amp; 3 egg whites. I'd like to substitute the sugar.

In my experience it is 1:1. I've read that in several articles as well. Kathryn

I use coconut milk and sometimes I use almond milk. Either one is great. I haven't used rice milk, but I'm sure that would be fine. I usually add frozen (organic) strawberries and blueberries to it as well and blend. Makes a great smoothy without having to add any ice or extra sugar.

Is there any Suclarose in the k cups. I'v been trying to cut out all sugars natural or not from my diet. Suclarose real name is Splenda in case anyone needs to know.

This is loose powder. I have found that this product does not have as strong an aftertaste as some other alternative sweeteners. However, this will depend on how much you use. You cannot use this product to replace sugar, cup-for-cup, as it is sweeter than sugar, and will overpower your recipe if you do so. I don't use more than 1/4--1/2 cup and that depends on what I'm making; I've used less at times. Hope this helps!

I have the same question, why is this only available in VERY VANILLA.. I only buy the very vanilla type because I have no other choice, but this is too sweet for me, too! Soy is healthy, but the sugar content in it? That makes me nervous.. I hope that the SILK company will start making the original -- or even the no sugar-added soymilk in tetrapacks, like this!

Susan - I use this for everything. Once you use xylitol you will never go back to sugar. Hope this helps.

I purchased unsweetened (don't know if they sell a sweeten version) it has a more subtle coconut flavor than the sweetened alternatives. On the other hand you can control what kind and how much sweetener you want to use. It reminds me of unsweetened coconut milk. If baking with it, it does not yield the same effect as sweetened coconut.

My friend who makes the sugar-free coconut cream pie for me uses Bob's Red Mill unsweetened shredded coconut with sugar-free Jell-O vanilla COOKED pudding and no other sweetener. She puts the mixture in either a precooked pie shell or a graham-cracker crust. It is a huge treat for any diabetic as well as suitable for anyone. Enjoy!

The old formula was sweetened with a very small amount of fructose. The formula was recently changed and now Xylitol is the main sweetening agent with a trivial amount of Stevia. We have stopped ordering this product due to the switch to Xylitol. Xylitol does not belong in children's vitamins.

Yep, just like Ms. Kathleen said, sucrose, dextrose, fructose, water, natural flavor, wish I could fill in more blanks but that's all I've got. I bought this to make pineapple, coconut smoothies. It works good.

Pure sucralose is said to be 500x - 600x sweeter than sugar depending upon whose info you read, so theoretically, 1/10 of a teaspoon would be a good starting point. There are 48 teaspoons in a cup - 1/10 x 480 would be just shy of a cup. (basically, a small pinch) I think it will be worth experimenting with, since bulk sucralose powder is so inexpensive.

Use Splenda for a while, and imagine it in a much much much smaller quantity to get the same sweet, without as much aftertaste because there are no other fillers, additives or things like that. Like any other sugar substitute, it's all about moderation, if you use too much it may get sweeter, but there is a point where it tastes "wrong' so to speak.

Better for no-sugar ice cream... Heavy Cream, half and half, whole coconut milk and this combined into an ice cream maker. Devine.

I personally only use liquid Stevia for sweetening beverages. It can be substituted for sugar for baking but you would need to add a bulking agent to your recipe to compensate for sugar volume. If I were using Stevia to bake with, I would use the powder form instead of the liquid because I find it to be cheaper. This is the exchange for sugar to Stevia: for 1 cup of sugar substitute 1 teaspoon of undiluted stevia powder or 1 teaspoon of a liquid stevia extract. For each 1 cup of sugar substituted, use 1/3 cup of a bulking agent. Healthier bulking agents include egg whites, apple sauce, fruit puree or yogurt.

I am aware of any recipe other than what is on the package. However, I did use substitutes for yogurt, like coconut milk and plain water. I will try using pumpkin, you can't go wrong because the chocolate flavor dominates. The texture may vary but it is still delicious.

According to the Xlear website (www.xlear.com), XyloSweet® Xylitol sugar is interchangeable with sugar for most cooking applications. However, since yeast cannot metabolize it, XyloSweet® Xylitol sugar will not work when baking breads or anything that contains yeast. Furthermore, it doesn't crystallize as much as table sugar, so it does not do well when making peanut brittle or other hard candies. Finally, the amount required to sweeten drinks such as lemonade, may initially cause diarrhea in some people until they become accustomed to it.

As this stuff is incredibly sweet, I would guess the equivalent is about 1.5-2 spoonfuls of normal sugar. The spoon included is a little less than 1/4 inch across and about half as deep.
