I always wanted to learn How to Make Sugar Free Sprinkles myself.
This is something that I could never find anywhere.
How to Make Sugar Free Sprinkles
I have always wondered why I could never find sprinkles that were not made from sugar.
As a result, I found a way to make them myself. This recipe is the closed thing to the sprinkles with sugar in them.
There are so many used for sprinkles.
Of course, we can put them on top of our cupcakes. However, ice cream is my choice for sprinkles. I love all of the pretty colors that can get added in a moment thanks to them.
This recipe is easier than you may think it is.
You will need a few things to get you started though. You will need sugar free powdered sugar which you can make yourself or buy online. Also, you will need pasteurized egg whites and food coloring.
Here are some recipes that you can enjoy your sprinkles with.

“SUGAR FREE SPRINKLES” you do not say how to store or how long they keep ?
Sugar Free Diva says
Hi. Once they are completely dry, I would store them in an air-tight container. I would use them within a couple of weeks as well.
Thanks!

I used the max water suggested and it was still too thick. Am I doing anything wrong?
Sugar Free Diva says
Hi. Split the mix in half and test a bit more water in one half until you reach a good texture. Then go back and continue with the other half when you are ready.
Your mix may have dried a bit quick for a number of reasons so going half at a time may help. Thanks!
