Elevate your baked creations with this silky-smooth Basic Vanilla Drizzle—a quick and versatile topping that comes together in just 5 minutes! Made with only three pantry staples—powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract—this simple yet luscious glaze adds the perfect sweet and aromatic finish to cakes, cookies, muffins, and more. Customize the consistency to your liking with a splash more milk or an extra dusting of sugar, ensuring it complements any treat flawlessly. Whether you're dressing up a batch of fresh cinnamon rolls or adding a shiny finish to sugar cookies, this easy-to-make vanilla drizzle is a must-have for dessert enthusiasts seeking effortless elegance.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
Add 2 tablespoons of milk to the sifted powdered sugar.
Pour 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the mixture.
Whisk all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. If the drizzle is too thick, add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Alternatively, if it's too thin, add more powdered sugar incrementally.
Use the vanilla drizzle immediately by drizzling it over your baked goods with a spoon or piping bag. Allow it to set for a few minutes before serving.
