How should I use ICONFIT Stevia compared to regular sugar, and how should I adjust my recipes? — ICONFIT Stevia Sweetener, 350 g

ICONFIT Stevia Sweetener contains the sweeteners erythritol and steviol glycosides obtained from Stevia rebaudiana. According to the manufacturer, it is used like regular table sugar in food and drinks, and the maximum baking temperature is 180 °C. Keep this in mind when substituting it in your daily routine, whether you are sweetening a morning coffee or preparing a dessert.

When using this sweetener in baking, it is important to understand that sugar performs multiple functions beyond adding sweetness. Regular sugar contributes bulk, moisture retention, and color to recipes. Since stevia does not provide these physical properties in the same way, replacing sugar entirely with ICONFIT Stevia may result in baked goods that differ slightly in texture, volume, or appearance. For example, cakes or cookies might be denser or less golden than those made with traditional sugar.

To get the best results, many users start by replacing only a portion of the sugar in a recipe and adjusting the amount of stevia to taste. This allows you to maintain the structural integrity of your dish while reducing the overall sugar content. You can gradually increase the proportion of stevia as you become familiar with its behavior in your specific recipes. This approach helps you keep the taste of familiar foods while changing the sweetening source to a lower-calorie option.
