Flavored sugar: which one to choose depending on the recipe?
Fruity, indulgent, pastry-style, or something more original? Choosing the right flavored sugar allows you to enhance a recipe without masking its flavors. Here's our simple guide to ensure you always get it right.
For yogurts and soft cheeses
Dairy bases are ideal for bringing out the flavors. Opt for fruity sugars for a fresh and light sensation.
- Strawberry, raspberry, blueberry
- Lemon, clementine, orange
- Pear, apricot, pineapple
Tip: Let it rest for 2 minutes after mixing for a more intense taste.
For hot drinks (tea, coffee, hot chocolate)
Hot drinks require flavors that withstand the heat. Sugars with rich, comforting notes are perfect.
- Vanilla, roasted hazelnut
- Tiramisu, gingerbread
- Caramel, tarte tatin
For homemade desserts (rice pudding, semolina, custards)
These recipes can handle more pronounced flavors. They are the ideal playground for indulgent and pastry-making sweets.
- Vanilla, almond, hazelnut
- Gingerbread, tiramisu
- Coconut, caramel
For cake and pancake batters
Flavored sugar replaces regular sugar and flavors the entire dough. The flavors should remain balanced after baking.
- Vanilla, lemon, orange
- Toasted hazelnut, almond
- Gingerbread for an original touch
