Product Information

If sugar comes from plants, it must be vegan, right? It is true to say that the sugar humans consume comes from plants (see below for more details), and if the sugar was extracted from the plant in question and served up to add to your coffee or sprinkle on your cereal, all would be fine and dandy. As such, any completely unrefined or “raw” sugar is therefore fine for vegans to consume. Bone Char Immediately remove the pan from the heat, but keep stirring. (After you have removed the pan from the heat, the mixture will continue to cook for a minute or two on its own. If you overheat the mixture and it forms small lumps, you can either whisk it vigorously or strain it through a fine-mesh sieve. To stop the cooking process and cool the mixture, if necessary, set the pan over a bowl of ice water. Golden-coloured syrup containing sucrose and invert sugar (sucrose broken down into its two component sugars, glucose and fructose)

Types of Sugar This chocolate frosting is airy and has the flavor of whipped cream with a touch of chocolate: While the milk mixture is cooling, melt 4 ounces unsweetened or dark chocolate in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, or in 30-second bursts in a microwave. Reduce to a comfortable temperature. With the mixer on low speed, combine the chocolate with the butter-sugar mixture.

Buttercream frosting can be stored in an airtight container or a sealed piping bag at room temperature for up to 2 days. It doesn’t need to be refrigerated right away, but it can last up to a week stored in the fridge.
