Many of the sugar substitutes are quite pricey, but I'm interested in making sugar free cake and frosting. Most of the frosting recipes seem to include pudding, which makes them more affordable than using large amounts of artificial sweetener, but the texture leaves something to be desired. I'd love to hear some ideas. Does anyone have a good recipe to share or an idea for other options besides high priced substitutes? I was thinking of possibly using Cool Whip or something.
The options I know are using honey, maple syrup or dried fruit or fruit concentrate. When using the liquid sweeteners, your recipe has to be slightly altered. I do not have any suggestions for the icing. I think honey will create the same texture as sugar. I don't eat icing, so I really can not say.
