If you are looking to create a blend of erythritol and stevia, this combo pack is the way to go. With erythritol only 70% as sweet as sugar, you can use our organic stevia to increase the sweetness to your desired taste.

Why make your own blend?
Making your own blend allows you to find the perfect level of sweetness for your tastes. It also means there are no added ingredients (corn starch, chemicals) which many of the pre-made blends have to improve shelf life.

Another benefit is cost – making your own blend with our erythritol and stevia will often work out much more cost effective than buying the pre-made blends.

Why add stevia?
Erythritol is only 70% as sweet as sugar, so it can be difficult to convert recipes, especially in baking. By making a blend to increase the sweetness to the same level as table sugar, you will have a better end result.

Increasing the amount of erythritol will not increase the level of sweetness in the way that sugar would. Instead it will increase the cooling effect of erythritol in your baking and the texture of your baking will deteriorate.

By using a combination of erythritol and a high intensity sweetener (stevia or monk fruit), you will end up with a superior end result, and reduce the cooling sensation.

How to make your own erythritol/stevia blend:
If this is your first time making your own blend, we would recommend starting with a smaller amount of stevia, and adding more as required (you can easily add more, but you can’t take it back out!).

As a starting point, we would recommend combining 5g (approx. 1 tsp) of stevia with 1kg of erythritol and then testing. If it is not sweet enough, then increase the quantity of stevia to 10g per 1kg of erythritol.

To combine, you could either place the ingredients in an over-sized plastic bag or jar with plenty of space (ensure it is only 2/3 full to allow the erythritol and stevia to combine properly), and shake to combine, or use a mixer on the lowest setting to gently combine.
