Save money by making your own icing sugar in the Thermomix. It’s quick to make and can be used as a substitute for store-bought icing sugar in any recipe.
As long as you’ve got a bag of plain white sugar in the pantry, you’ll never run out of icing sugar again – and you’ll cut down on packaging too. The Thermomix sounds like a jet engine while it blitzes, but it’s done in under a minute.
This recipe is part of my Thermomix pantry staples series, where I share quick and simple ways to save money and time by making everyday staples in the Thermomix, such as sweetened condensed milk and self-raising flour.
Icing Sugar Tips
Types of sugar: Use regular white sugar (any supermarket brand works perfectly). I don’t recommend brown sugar as the molasses makes it sticky and more likely to clump. You can mill raw sugar or coconut sugar, but the texture may be coarser than regular white sugar.
How to avoid a sugar dust cloud: After milling the sugar, let it settle for a few seconds before slowly opening the lid.
Grainy texture: To avoid a gritty texture, don’t mill more than 250g of white sugar at a time, and mill for at least 50 seconds on speed 10.
