  1. Mill for 20 seconds on speed 10. Wait for a few seconds for the icing sugar to settle. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Mill again for 30 seconds on speed 10.

Expert Tips

  • Ensure the bowl and blades are completely dry before blending - any moisture will cause clumping.
  • Let the dust settle for a few seconds before opening the lid to avoid a sugar cloud.
  • Blend up to 250g at a time for the smoothest results.
  • For an extra-fine texture, sift after blending, especially when using less refined sugars.

Storage

Store the icing sugar in an airtight container. Sift for lumps before using.

    Hi, I tried this and it looked just like icing sugar but when I made icing the taste/texture was still granulated and didn’t taste the same.
    Would you have any tips please?

      Hi Sarah, apologies for the late response. You could try grinding it for a little longer. I find that homemade icing sugar is never quite the same texture as soft icing sugar from the supermarket. Kind regards Vicki.

    I heard a trick a while back about putting paper towel over the top of the bowl to prevent the cloud of icing, it worked a treat!
