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:
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- 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.
- Apply to Desserts: Drizzle or spread the glaze over your favorite baked goods while they are slightly warm for the best absorption.
- 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.
