Description
This easy condensed milk glaze is a rich, creamy, and glossy topping perfect for cakes, donuts, cinnamon rolls, and pastries. Made with just a few ingredients, it requires no cooking and sets beautifully for a smooth finish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons whole milk (or more for a thinner glaze)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (optional, for a thicker consistency)
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and vanilla extract.
- Adjust the Consistency: Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar, if using, until the glaze reaches your desired thickness.
- Strain for Smoothness: For an ultra-smooth glaze, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
- Use Immediately: Drizzle over cakes, pastries, or donuts while slightly warm. The glaze will firm up as it cools.
Notes
- Citrus Twist: Add 1 teaspoon of lemon or orange zest for a fresh, tangy flavor.
- Chocolate Version: Stir in 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder for a chocolate glaze.
- Coffee-Infused: Mix in 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder for a rich, mocha flavor.
- Maple Delight: Replace vanilla with 1 teaspoon of maple extract for a warm, autumnal touch.
