I've spent WAAAY too much time trying to perfect my sugar-free shaved ice/snow cone syrup recipe. I mean, I *like* shaved ice, but I'd only get it once or twice a year. Then, for some reason, I got on a kick this summer, and purchased a legit ice shaver, but then ran into the problem of consuming too much sugar. When I tried to find sugar-free syrups, there weren't that many, and those I found either didn't taste good, or caused major gas (sorry if that's TMI...) So I set out to create my own. Shouldn't be hard, right? Well I found out pretty quickly that anything combined with erythritol was a no-no for my digestive system, which ruled out about 90% of the sweeteners on the market. I found that Stevia worked well, but then it brought up a new issue: the syrup wasn't "syrupy" and would freeze when poured onto the shaved ice, making it sort of like eating "dry snow." In other words, it wasn't slushy. I tried xantham gum, guar gum, sodium alginate, cellulose gum, salt, and many other additives to try to get it to behave like regular sugar water, with no luck. Then, I realized that one of my favorite "healthy" sweets, SmartSweets, was sweetened with allulose. And that doesn't cause issues for me, stomach-wise. Because it's chemically similar to normal sugar, and had some volume to it (being 70% as sweet as normal sugar), I thought that might have enough bulk to make it slushy rather than icy. However, I didn't want to add 1.5 cups of allulose into 1 cup of water. That seemed excessive. So my next thought was, "monkfruit is the cool new kid on the block as well, and it's way sweeter than sugar. I wonder if someone has combined allulose with monkfruit?" Sure enough, Besti came to the rescue. I used a Snowie flavor packet, 1 cup of this Besti sweetener, and 16 ounces of water, and BAM! Perfect consistency and *remarkably* close-to-sugar taste. I'm now in zero-calorie shaved ice heaven. This stuff is the real deal.

I actually liked this. It doesn't have that salty taste that other sugar substitutes have.

This is very sweet, great alternative

Great tasting product, would definitely recommend

Best sugar replacement I’ve ever tasted! It’s more expensive than powdered sugar, but my health is worth it!

It is just like regular powered sugar, just as sweet. It has a tiny bit of after taste but worth it. It did very well in the almond crescent cookies I made.
