Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Milk (or water for a thinner glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder to remove any lumps.
Add the milk (or water), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the bowl.
Stir the mixture with a whisk or a fork until smooth and glossy. If the glaze is too thick, add an additional teaspoon of milk or water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or cocoa flavor if necessary by adding a bit more powdered sugar or cocoa powder.
Once the glaze is smooth, use it immediately to drizzle over desserts or dip baked goods.
Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes for a shiny, firm finish or enjoy it right away for a softer texture.
