S tier
Fine powdered erythritol is the icing-sugar analogue of this polyol: it dissolves on the tongue, dusts a cake, and sweetens a buttercream without the crunch of leftover granules. The cooling effect is still there, just more even. Pâtissiers who bake sugar-free live on this grind. It cakes if the bag breathes. It will not brown like 10x sucrose. A "confectioners' erythritol" that still feels sandy was under-milled. Use it where smoothness matters; keep granular for coffee if you like the sparkle.

History
Sugar-free pastry cooks demanded a powdered erythritol that would not crunch in buttercream.
Retail "confectioners" erythritol bags appeared next to granular pouches.
Keto bakeries standardised on fine erythritol for glazes and fat bombs.
Blends of powdered erythritol with monk fruit or stevia filled the icing-sugar slot.
