Finally got around to trying out the powdered BoccaSweet.  First thing I noticed was it was very clumpy and had a texture more like corn starch.  Other than that, it was just fine.  (pun intended).  Anyone else try this stuff yet?

I got my bag a couple of days before you.  I haven't tried it out yet (too busy with other keto projects and videos).

Ooh, I was going to order some soon. I just got the granulated to try and haven't gotten to it yet. I'm interested to hear the reviews on the powdered.

Question for both of you. Why don't I see more sifting of powders that are used? It makes things so much smoother and more uniform. Powdered sugars, the different flours, etc. Clumpy wouldn't matter then, just sift.

Valkrie - I find that sifting is an essential process no matter the keto recipe. Keto ingredients tend to clump and stay that way - especially when combining into liquids.   Then you have to get out the immersion blended to break them up.  Even then, it does not always to the trick.  Thanks for the prompt.

I have not ordered the powdered Bocha Sweet yet.  I am finding that straight monkfruit works great to sweeten things if I don't need the bulk measure of the larger quantity.  A quarter teaspoon adds quite a bit of sweetness to panacotta, pancakes, even chaffles.

@valkyrie I don't sift when I have a recipe that uses a food processor.  I just pulse all the dry ingredients together a few times.

I do sift my ultra-fine almond flour after running it through the spice grinder.  I also sift the ChipMonk Baking cookie mixes for use in mug cakes because those are pretty clumpy.

I always sift.  I may not expressly say it in my recipes but it is pretty much a given for me.  Up till now I have been using confectioner's Swerve and I have never experienced clumping of any kind which is why I posted the comment about the BoccaSweet product.
