    Need some advice on how to substitute frosting!

    Hi everyone, I'm new to this chat room and my questions is: My husband is a diabetic and I want to make an apple dessert.  It's called an empanada which is like a stuffed cookie.  You make the cookie/pie dough and you roll it like a tortilla, put your filling, fold it in half and cut off the excess.  Flute it on the edge and bake or deep fry.  How can I make a frosting to put on the top using Splenda?  Also when a recipe calls for powdered sugar, how can I do that with Splenda?  If you have any questions on diabetic cooking maybe I  can help you.  Thanks, Keeteen

     How to Make Diabetic Frosting Powdered Sugar Glaze

     

  • 1/4 c SPLENDA sugar blend
  • 3 c SPLENDA sugar substitute
  • 2/3 c cornstarch mixed w/ 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons water
  • Step1
    Mix well: SPLENDA sugar substitute, SPLENDA sugar blend, & cornstarch mix. This will make a SPLENDA confectionary blend.
    Step2
    Add the tablespoons of water one at a time, mixing in between, until you have the desired consistency. You may need more or less than 2-3 tablespoons. If you are making chocolate frosting, add 2 squares of melted semi sweet chocolate & 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla. Beat Well.
    Step3
    Spread quickly, frosting gets dry & sticky.
