    Hi Aarthi, is it ok to use normal powdered sugar instead of icing sugar?

    @Sunandano icing sugar is what should be used

    Aarti, thanks for the wonderful recipe. Actually if you line the tray with cling film and extend it to the outside part of the tray, you can easily lift it up and peel off when it is set.
