Easy Condensed Milk Glaze


  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: Covers approximately 12-16 donuts or a medium cake. 1x

Description

This easy condensed milk glaze is a rich, sweet, and silky topping that enhances cakes, donuts, cookies, and pastries. With just a few ingredients, it’s the perfect quick finishing touch for your baked goods.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons milk (adjust for consistency)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (optional, for a thicker glaze)

Instructions:

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker glaze, gradually add powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated. If you want a thinner glaze, add more milk a teaspoon at a time.
  3. Apply to Desserts: Drizzle or spread the glaze over your favorite baked goods while they are slightly warm for the best absorption.
  4. Let It Set: Allow the glaze to sit for a few minutes before serving to achieve the perfect texture.

Instructions

  • Citrus Twist: Add a teaspoon of lemon or orange zest for a refreshing flavor.
  • Chocolate Version: Stir in 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder for a chocolate glaze.
  • Spiced Glaze: Mix in a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth.
  • Coffee-Infused: Add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder for a mocha glaze.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Reheating: Warm it slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds and stir before using. If it thickens too much, add a small amount of milk to thin it out.
