Let’s talk dyes…

Dyes and artificial coloring should never be in our food. Did you know that most unnatural dyes have contaminants that are known to cause cancer? Some well-known carcinogens like Benzidine, 4-aminobiphenyl and 4-aminoazobenzene can be found in artificial dyes.

All of theses food coloring are organic and made from healthy ingredients.

INGREDIENTS

Here’s all the goodies you need to make Homemade Sprinkles.

• 1 c (132 g) confectioners Swerve- sifted

• 1 tbsp (14 g) egg whites

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

• 1-2 tsp of water

• beetroot powder-sifted (optional)

• blue spirulina powder-sifted (optional)

• green spirulina powder-sifted (optional)

• turmeric powder-sifted (optional)

• purple sweet potato powder-sifted (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Here’s how to make Homemade Sprinkles at home.

1. Line baking sheets with parchment paper

2. Whisk the egg white and vanilla extract until slightly frothy in a medium bowl.

3. Whisk in the confectioner's Swerve, lemon juice, and 1 tsp of water until a smooth gel is formed

4. Divide the gel into smaller bowls before adding the color

5. Add a small amount of sifted colored powder into each bowl. Use a small silicone spatula to work in color. Add color in small increments until the desired color. If gel becomes too thick, add a drop of water.

6. Use the silicone spatula to scoop the colored gel into a piping or zipper bag.

7. Use your hands to squeeze the gel into a corner of the bag, then twist the top.

8. Repeat steps 5-7 for each of the colors

9. Cut a tiny hole in the corner of the bag and pipe as many lines as you can get from each bag onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets.

10. Allow to lay out to dry for 10-24 hours.

11. Once dry, scoop the sticks together and cut into the preferred sprinkle size with a knife.

Tips for Success…

• Sift all powders. If you don’t sift then you will get clumps and it will block the tip when you are piping

• Start small. When you make the first hole in the piping bag, make it as small as possible. Test the thickness, then if it’s not big enough cut a slightly bigger hole. You can always make the hole bigger but you can’t make it smaller. This is a baker’s version of the old saying “measure twice and cut once”.

• Use what you have. If you don’t have piping bags, use zipper bags

• Swerve. Out of all the powdered sweeteners, use Swerve confectioners. The other types of sweeteners don’t harden like Swerve
