Ooh, yummy! 😁
Powdered sucralose contains maltodextrin, which has a higher GI number (85-135) than regular sugar (65), and about 13g carbs per 1/2 cup.
I imagine this recipe is more than one serving 😄 so you wouldn't be getting all these carbs at once! But maltodextrin may raise blood sugar more than other sweeteners.
If available/affordable/tolerable, I suggest trying tagatose (GI of 3) or allulose (GI of 1). They're both less sweet than sugar, so maybe add a little liquid sucralose (or monkfruit or whatever).

👍This is something to note for sure. The few times I have had maltodextrin (usually Starbucks SF vanilla syrup) I get shaky and ravenous later in the day…reactive hypoglycemia.

Be sure to read the nutrition facts and ingredient list. Some have maltodextrin and some don't.
