Note
Hi just wondering – if I wanted to reduce the sugar would I need to replace it with another ingredient to keep the consistency?
Hi Teri. Unfortunately changing the recipe to substitute the sugar could result in a difference in texture and/or taste. Of course, a bit of experimentation in the kitchen is always interesting and if you do find a great substitute, let us know 🙂
