Note: Entire recipe yields ten cups of base (depending on how much sweetener you use). Each 8-ounce bar of cream cheese is approximately one fluid cup when whipped
Note about powdered bulk sweetener: See the
Sugar-Free Solutions Chart here at the blog. The amount of powered sweetener you will need will be based on the type of sweetener you use (whether it is a cup-for-cup sugar sub or not) as well as on your level of sweetness. I recommend you start with the lower amount and work up. If you use a stevia-based substitute, like Pyure, you will need almost half of what you would need for others that are cup-for-cup sugar substitutes. Note also that the measurements are for the powdered versions—not the measurements before you powder the sweetener. (See Healthy Sugar Substitutes chapter in
Sugar-Free Solutions for how to make powdered and brown sugars.)
