Can be used for baking or desserts

In pies, cakes, and other pastries or baked products, lucuma powder can be used in place of sugar. The texture of lucuma is similar to that of granulated sugar, but its flavor is more akin to that of brown sugar. Brown sugar can be substituted for lucuma in a 1:1 volume ratio. For example, 1 cup (120 grams) of lucuma equals 1/2 cup (200 grams) of brown sugar.

However, you may need to experiment a little because it may not work for all recipes. Lucuma is frequently used as a flavor in ice cream and other sweets. It may also be used in yogurt, cereal, smoothies, and homemade nut milk to provide a natural sweetness that adults and children will enjoy.
