Transfer.
Transfer the icing sugar to a sealable container or use straight away.

10 seconds at speed 10: place kitchen paper on the lid
Add 250 g of sugar to the mixing bowl. Before closing the lid, place a sheet of kitchen paper over the top. This stops the fine sugar dust from escaping through the opening in the lid. Pulverise for 10 seconds at speed 10. Then wait 1 minute before removing the lid, so that the dust settles back down inside the mixing bowl.
Tip: Add a pinch of cornflour to the sugar before pulverising. This prevents the icing sugar from clumping during storage. For smaller quantities under 100 g, we recommend the Miximizer, which processes small amounts in the mixing bowl more evenly.
Brown sugar, vanilla sugar, poppy seed sugar: 3 variations
- Brown icing sugar: Use brown sugar instead of white. Slightly caramel flavour with a brownish colour.
- Vanilla sugar: Instead of plain icing sugar, use homemade vanilla sugar with the Thermomix®.
- Poppy seed sugar: Add poppy seeds before pulverising. Our poppy seed sugar recipe with the Thermomix® shows the exact quantities.
On pancakes, biscuits and cakes: how we use icing sugar
Fresh icing sugar tastes best dusted over Thermomix® pancakes or Kaiserschmarrn. For baking, it goes into the dough of vanilla crescents and jam sandwich biscuits. For icing on lemon cake or chocolate biscuits, we mix it with a little lemon juice. A thin layer of icing sugar also looks great on our lava cake from the Varoma.

Keeps for several months in an airtight container
Transfer homemade icing sugar to airtight storage containers and keep in a dry place. It keeps for several months, just like shop-bought icing sugar. Grinding a larger batch in advance saves a trip to the supermarket.
