I've tried some of the powdered sugar substitute recipes and they are gross! Give this recipe a whirl, my family loves it.

Susan I have used Xylitol with good results as a sugar substitute and some health food stores carry the powdered variety....Xylitol is a sugar alcohol and has very little impact on the BGL (blood glucose level) You can even put it in your food processor with a little cornstarch and turn it into powder...it is worth a try.....

Deah I copied that recipe..looks great!!!

It would be helpful to know why she cannot eat sugar.
Get a book on diebities - YIKES I can't spell!. There are a few things that can be used. I had a recipe yrs ago that used cottage cheese; others use cream cheese.

She had gastric bypass surgery and can not have more than 5 grams of sugar at a time. (I think that is right). I can't ask her questions about it because it is for her birthday and it is a surprise. I do know that she can handle the Splenda blend so I am thinking about doing the splenda blend with cornstarch and seeing how that works. I will let you know.
