Instructions

Add the coconut sugar and arrowroot powder (or your substitution) to a blender or food processor. You can double the measurements if needed. If you need a larger batch, I recommend working in batches.
Put the lid on and make sure it is sealed. You can also use a clean towel or cloth to wrap around the seal of the lid to prevent any powder from escaping.
Pulse or blend on high speed for about 30 seconds. It shouldn't take much longer than that, but it will depend on the type of blender you are using.
You want to achieve a fine, powdery texture similar to traditional powdered sugar, this will help it dissolve and blend well in your recipes.
Also be careful not to over blend, as this can cause the sugar to heat up and clump.
NOTE: If you need to turn off the blender, take the container off of the base in intervals to give it a slight shake, sometimes that is helpful. Do not take off the lid or the aerated powder will escape.
Once you are done "blending", wait a few minutes for the powder to settle before opening the lid and spooning into an air-tight container.
Store your coconut powdered sugar in an air-tight container in a cool dry place.
Use as a 1:1 swap for regular powdered sugar in any recipe that this toasty, caramel flavor would work well in.
