These Healthy Homemade Sugar Cubes taste just like the storebought ones except this recipe is low calorie, low carb, sugar free, fat free, gluten free and vegan!
I think I’m going to package ’em into these cute little jars and give them away as gifts for the holidays… maybe along with some Gluten-Free Gingersnaps 🙂
These Homemade Sugar Cubes are definitely the better choice for coffees, teas, hot chocolate and other warm beverages. Sweeten your day the guilt-free way!
Homemade Sugar Cubes
These Healthy Homemade Sugar Cubes taste just like the storebought ones except this recipe is low calorie, low carb, sugar free, fat free, gluten free and vegan!
-
Add the erythritol to a bowl and add 1 tsp of water at a time, stirring between each addition, until it looks like wet sand/shaved ice/damp snow. Firmly press the mixture into a mini ice cube mold.
-
Place a cutting board over the ice cube mold. Press the two together and flip it carefully, making sure to keep the mold intact with the cookie sheet.
-
Gently tap on the mold to loosen the cubes. Let firm up overnight (do not touch!), and they’ll be ready to use in the morning!

So for the ENTIRE BATCH of 90 sugar cubes that taste exactly the same as the storebought brand, this DIY version has just 40 calories, 11g carbs, and 0g sugar. FOR 90 CUBES!
As a reference, 90 storebought sugar cubes have 900 calories, 225g carbs, and 225g sugar. That’s shocking. This DIY recipe has 860 fewer calories and no sugar (so no sugar-rush and sugar-crash, whoop whoop)!
Let’s say you use three cubes in your coffee… that’s 1.3 calories rather than 30 calories of pure white sugar.
I WIN, mwahaha 😉
Enjoy!
