What to consider
What to consider
Build a balanced sweetness profile that complements cocoa, vanilla, fruit, spices, and other flavors in the formulation.
Replace the bulk and structural contribution of sugar to help maintain the desired volume, shape, and product integrity.
Manage moisture and texture to maintain the desired softness, tenderness, or crispness as sugar is reduced.
Consider how sugar reduction may affect browning, baking behavior, and the appearance of the finished product.
