What is the xylitol equivalent of sugar? I make custard using 1/2 cup sugar, 2 cups coconut milk & 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

From all I have read about xylitol, measurement is equivalent, so use 1/2 cup of xylitol if your recipe calls for 1/2 cup of sugar.

I have no idea what ingredient replaces sugar/fructose. The taste of DGL is not, for me, the deciding factor. It decidedly helps with acid reflux.

There is a lot of information on the internet, and it depends on whether or not you are making the liquid to use in cooking or as a concentrated sweetener for beverages. In response to the first person to answer, the ground leaves are not generally used as a sugar substitute, but to make a liquid "tea" that is then used as the sweetener. I have been using stevia this way since before it was ever sold as refined.

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.

I was using turbinado sugar for my coffee and switched to this for the lower glycemic value. It tastes very similar to turbinado in that it has a caramelly flavor, not coconutty at all.

Xyla measures like sugar or Splenda - if you use 2 teaspoons of sugar in your coffee, use 2 teaspoons of Xyla. BUT... the instructions tell you to build up your tolerance. My digestive tract was completely intolerant of Xyla. :(

I don't see xylitol listed on the label and haven't detected any sweeteners in this product. Other ingredients are purified water, citric acid, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, and sodium chloride. Thanks for asking because I hadn't noticed the preservatives before. I've been using this product for years.

Coconut cream is like the top half of a can of full-fat coconut milk. It's thicker and has less water. You can probably substitute it in some recipes, or in a pinch, you could thin it with a little water or coconut water as a substitute. Where it's really useful is recipes that call for just that top half of a can of coconut milk. You can also chill it and whip it for a great dairy-free whipped cream substitute.

First latte I made I used Almond milk and it tasted horrid. Though I like Almond Milk just fine in my cereal it made the latte' undrinkable. I now use 1% cow milk and its perfect.

I use this in place of sugar where a dry sweetener is needed. It is coconut 'crystals' and does not taste like coconut--just gives a sweet taste. I use the nectar in smoothies more, neither tastes like coconut, but some recipes 'suggest' a dry sweetener is better for consistency in their recipe.

Check out the http://gluten-dairy-sugarfree.com website for Dairy-Free Coconut Cacao Ice Cream and Orange-Mango Sorbet recipes. I happened to find those in the last 10 minutes and ordered the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker suggested in those recipes for my daughter's birthday.

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

No xylitol but it does contain erythritol, which is also a naturally derived sweetner, has a super-low glycemic index, and in my opion tastes just like sugar! I've tried several types of granular stevia and this is my favorite hands-down.

There is no sugar added.....Only natural sugar from Coconut, it tastes like coconut juice from a coconut you chopped off a tree, broke top and drank from it. The difference is, this is coconut water, they call it juice. There is nothing added, just young coconut juice. Hope this was helpful!

I used almond milk tonight for the 1st time and it wouldn't froth at all. I finished making my latte,though cause I was curious,but it tasted bad..therefore,if you want to use an alternative to cow's milk,choose soy milk. I especially like an unsweetened vanilla kind since I like my drinks sugar-free.

Use a protein shaker. I mix with almond milk and coconut milk. You should drink it with some fat to balance the protein hence some coconut milk. The almond milk is very low calorie.

Must be an error by the manufacturer. This product is just whole milk with the water taken out...so 2 Tbp of this will have the same nutritional content as 1 cup of milk. If you look on milk, one serving has 12g of carbs (at least that's what the 2% currently in my fridge says) and it is all sugars...lactose one would assume. This is not a carb-free or sugar-free (or fat free) product...merely water-free :) ...the manufacturer should probably fix this.
