I want to sub some sf syrup in an ice cream recipe for sugar/splenda and am
wondering what is the sweetening power of the syrup?

Is it weaker or the same as and equivalent volume of splenda/sugar?

Thanks,

Sid...

Sid,
IMO it is the same sweetening power as splenda. I use the SF divinci syrups
in my coffee sometimes, and I have never needed to add sweetener.

I think the syrup is a lot sweeter. I use one packet of sweetener in
a large mug of coffee generally. But I find a TB of the syrup makes
my coffee too sweet.

A tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons, a packet replaces 2.
So if they were the same, a tablespoon of syrup would be much sweeter.

Yeah, but it seems *much* sweeter than that to me. Like... what 3 or
4 packs of sweetener would taste like. But that might just be me...
I've never had a big sweet tooth and have even less on low-carb.

On the other hand, it seems to take 2-3 TB to sweeten a bowl of
yogurt, which seems like it doesn't sweeten *enough* as it'd take much
less sugar than that.

I think the syrups might sweeten differently in different recipes, and
also depending on the flavor too - even if they all have the same
amount of sucralose in them.

I have just tried the vanilla this week for my coffee. Its sweet, but so is
the effect of vanilla flavor. Actually, I didn't need cream in my coffee, &
a dash of cinnamon gives it a nice twist.
