This turned out great. I even substituted sugar with splenda and added a little bit of vanilla extract and it made a great icing for cinnamon rolls.

Yay! I am so happy I found this recipe. I was making strawberry cheesecake bars and only had 1 cup of powdered sugar but needed 2. Skeptical at first but this REALLY works and I will never buy powdered sugar again! Thanks!

I never run out of anything! Well almost. I went to make my Sunburst Lemon Bars (Pillsbury) and decided to see if I could find a recipe for ps on Zaar. Lucky me... I found that it became more powdery after about 30 seconds or the more I blended. Wait a minute before you take the top off the blender if you don't want "sugar smoke" all over.Thank You SCL.

Thank you for this recipe. I actually can't have corn starch (newly developed food allergies) and was going to give up "powdered sugar" but your recipe gave me the information I needed to make substitutes. Now I can make my own using Arrowroot instead of corn starch. My recipes taste just as good as before! Thanks!

What a wonderful subsitute for powdered sugar, I made this for a fudge recipe, and it turned out great (both the fudge and the icing sugar..lol!)...I will make a large batch and probably will never purchase icing sugar again. Thanks so much recipe fairy for this great idea....KC

Same as the others, I started to frost a cake and realized I was out of powdered sugar. This was at 6:30 in the morning before I was due to go to work at 8:00. No time to go to the store...Recipezaar and Recipe Fairy to the rescue! Thanks a million!

WOO HOO!! Thank you for this recipe!!! I was right in the middle of making a peanut butter pie for my DH and forgot to check if I had powered sugar. I was so happy to find someone had posted a recipe for that ingredient! I'll be sure to use this recipe again, again, and again for future recipes. So much easier than having extra sugars in the house; I can just use what is available in my pantry to make it now!! God Bless You, Southern Chef!!! :-D
