Ingredients

Sugar of choice (the amount you need - no more than 250 gms) white or raw

Instructions

**Measure the Sugar:**
Start by measuring the amount of granulated sugar you need for your recipe. It's important to use the quantity specified in your recipe or more, depending on your needs.
**Add Sugar to the Thermomix Bowl:**
Pour the measured granulated sugar into the Thermomix bowl.
**Blend and Process:**
Place the lid securely on the Thermomix bowl.
Start the Thermomix on a low speed, around Speed 2, to prevent the sugar from billowing out.
Gradually increase the speed to a higher setting, typically Speed 9 or 10.
Allow the Thermomix to process the sugar for about 10-20 seconds. You'll notice that the granulated sugar gradually turns into a fine, powdery consistency.
**Check the Texture:**
Stop the Thermomix and check the texture of the sugar. If it's not yet the desired fine consistency of icing sugar, you can run the Thermomix for a few more seconds at a higher speed.
**Store or Use:**
Once you've achieved the desired texture, carefully remove the homemade icing sugar from the Thermomix bowl.
You can use it immediately in your recipe, or store it in an airtight container for future use.

Notes

**Tips:**

- Be cautious when opening the Thermomix lid after processing the sugar, as there may be some fine sugar dust that could escape.

- It's essential to start the Thermomix at a low speed and gradually increase it to prevent a sugar cloud from forming inside the bowl.

Homemade icing sugar made in a Thermomix is not only cost-effective but also ensures that you have fresh, preservative-free powdered sugar on hand whenever you need it for baking or sweetening your favorite dishes and desserts.
