Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
How much sugar should you replace with dextrose in ice cream?
About 10% of the total sugar weight, for a softer texture straight from the freezer.
Can dextrose completely replace sugar in baking?
No, it is less sweet (70 to 75% of the sweetening power of sucrose): use it in addition to adjust texture and shelf life, not as a complete substitute.
Why add dextrose to homemade fondant?
