Isomalt 200g

Isomalt is a sweetener extracted from sugar beets through a process slightly different from that of sucrose (traditional sugar). Chemically, it is a polyalcohol, or sugar alcohol. It looksand tastes similar to traditional sugar , which is why it is one of the most popular alternatives.
Compared to the latter, however, it has numerous advantages:

- 50% fewer calories (2kcal/g)
- It is not cariogenic (does not promote tooth decay)
- It has a significantly lower glycemic index

How to Use
It is mainly used in the preparation of desserts where you want to reduce the calorie intake and the glycemic index.
It is also ideal for preparing decorations / sculptures in pastry making (pulled sugar, fondant...) or as a substitute for icing sugar, as it does not melt as easily as the latter*.

To make "cast" objects:
Melt ISOMALT completely using microwave ovens, stoves or induction hobs and then pour the melted product into the appropriate moulds.

To make "pulled" or "blown" objects:
Melt ISOMALT at 180°C and then stop the cooking process by immersing the container in cold water. Add about 20-30 g of water per 1 kg of ISOMALT in small amounts, then place on silicone mats and proceed with the various creations. The product can be kept workable using special lamps.

*If you dust a cake with powdered sugar, the sugar is slowly absorbed over time, partially depleting its function (aesthetic and flavor). Using isomalt, however, achieves a similar but long-lasting effect .
