Perfectly Pink Powdered Sugar
Perfectly Pink Powdered Sugar is made from 2 ingredients, powdered sugar, and pink pitaya powder.
Pink pitaya powder is flavorless but gives the powdered sugar such a lovely and natural pink color.
I use pink powdered sugar often when I make cream-based frostings or sugar glaze and want a natural and beautiful pink color that is at times difficult to achieve with food coloring.
Or sprinkle pink powdered sugar over a warm vanilla cake, for a lovely pink and cakey dream.
