Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Splenda Granulated Sweetener
- 4 tablespoons Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed, optional for lemon glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum (optional for rum-orange glaze)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest (optional for added flavor)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the Splenda Granulated Sweetener, orange juice, and either lemon juice (for lemon glaze) or rum (for rum-orange glaze), depending on your flavor choice.
Add the cornstarch to the saucepan and stir in the water to create a smooth mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the ingredients continuously to avoid lumps.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
If you’re using orange zest, stir it in at this stage for added brightness in flavor.
Once the glaze reaches your desired consistency, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly before using it as a topping.
Drizzle the glaze over your favorite desserts, such as cakes, muffins, or pancakes. Enjoy!
