Instructions

Add the powdered sugar, whole milk, and vanilla bean paste or extract to a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.

If the glaze is too thick, add more milk, ½ teaspoon at a time. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar, 1-2 teaspoons at a time.

Immediately use the glaze. Or, press a piece of plastic wrap to the surface of the glaze and refrigerate it for later.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Sift Your Powdered Sugar 🎯
Always sift powdered sugar before mixing to eliminate lumps and create a silky-smooth glaze with no grittiness, ensuring professional results every time.
Room Temperature Milk Method 🥛
Use room temperature whole milk instead of cold milk to achieve the perfect consistency immediately without over-whisking, which can make the glaze too thin.
Vanilla Bean Paste Equilibrium ✨
Start with 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste and adjust gradually—the specks provide both flavor and visual appeal, so a little goes a long way.
Consistency Testing Trick 🧪
Dip a spoon into the glaze and let it drip back into the bowl; the glaze should flow slowly and coat the spoon with a thin layer for ideal drizzling consistency.
Apply to Warm Baked Goods 🌡️
Glaze warm (not hot) pastries and baked goods within 5-10 minutes of cooling so the glaze sets into a delicate coating rather than sliding off completely.
