Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 0.25 cup milk or cream
- 1 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract
- pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Measure powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt. Prepare a clean medium mixing bowl.
- Whisk Glaze Base: Combine sifted powdered sugar and milk. Whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes until smooth, creamy, and lump-free.
- Add Flavoring: Stir in vanilla extract and fine sea salt for 30 seconds until well combined.
- Adjust Consistency: Assess the glaze’s flow. Add 1 tbsp more powdered sugar for a thicker finish, or 1-2 tsp more milk for a thinner drizzle until it easily coats a spoon.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, use almond, soy, or oat milk. Experiment with maple syrup or almond extract for flavor variations. To adjust consistency, add liquid slowly, a teaspoon at a time, for thinner glaze, or more powdered sugar for a thicker one.
