Cooking & Baking Faqs

Can you cook and bake with SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener?

SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated, can be used for cooking and baking and measures and pours just like sugar.

1 cup of SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener is equal in sweetness to 1 cup of sugar. SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener can also be purchased in packets to sweeten coffee or tea or to sprinkle on cereal or fruit.

If a recipe also includes other sweeteners, such as brown sugar, corn syrup, molasses, maple syrup or others, can you substitute SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated for all of the sweeteners?

Sweeteners do more than just provide a sweet taste. Some sweeteners also lend color, texture, or flavor and prevent moisture loss. SPLENDA® Granulated works best in recipes where sugar mainly plays a sweetening role, such as fruit fillings, cheesecakes, custards, sauces, and marinades. In these recipes, you can feel comfortable substituting SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener for other sweeteners.

In some recipes, such as cakes, cookies, and muffins, you may need to make a few changes in the recipe to have great results. Find out more in Cooking and Baking Tips.

Or you can use new SPLENDA® Sugar Blend, which achieves the sweetness, volume and moistness you expect in your baked goods, but allows you to use half of the sugar you would ordinarily use. When making your favorite recipes, a half-cup of SPLENDA® Sugar Blend replaces a full-cup of regular sugar, with a 50% reduction in the sugars and carbohydrate from sugar.

SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend, a blend of brown sugar and SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener can be used in sprinkling, cooking and baking.

Can SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener be used in microwave cooking?

Yes. SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener retains its sweet taste in the wide variety of temperatures and cooking times used in microwave cooking.

Can SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener be used in frozen desserts?

Yes. SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener works well in frozen desserts, particularly fruit sorbet. However, the texture may not be as creamy as you may be used to. SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener will freeze the same as sugar in an ice cream.

Can SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener be used in high altitude baking?

Yes, it can be used in high altitude baking. Keep in mind that higher altitudes (3000 feet and above) usually necessitate minor changes when baking. High altitude baking guidelines generally suggest less sugar and leavening and more liquid.
