Vegan powdered sugar - is there such a thing?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

I need help with a dilemma I've been puzzling over.

The latest issue of VegNews has a recipe for vegan

pumpkin cheesecake, but it calls for using powdered

sugar. Seems to me there is no way to know whether

powdered sugar is vegan or not, for the same reason

as with regular white sugar - no labelling about

processing is required, so we can't tell if it's

sifted through bone chard or not. Rainbow Grocery

here in San Francisco doesn't even carry powdered

sugar (or at least I didn't find it in the bulk section

or the baking supplies section; I didn't ask any staff).

Can anyone advise me on this? I'm figuring on just

leaving off the powdered sugar, but I'm curious to know

if any of you can comment.

 

Thank you,

Janice

There is a vegan powdered sugar, from Hain. Rainbow carries it but moves

it around - last time I checked it was on the endcap of the first aisle

(where the sale items usually are, near the applesauces).

You can also try making powdered sugar yourself:

Hain powdered sugar is also at Whole Foods, and possibly still even on sale there.
