🥘 Ingredients

5 items

• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
• 1 pinch Salt

📝 Instructions

6 steps

1. In a medium mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps.

2. Add 2 tablespoons of milk to the powdered sugar and stir with a whisk or spoon until the mixture starts to come together.

3. Mix in the pure vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the ingredients are fully combined and the glaze is smooth.

4. If the glaze is too thick, add milk a small splash at a time until you reach your desired consistency for drizzling or spreading.

5. Taste the glaze and adjust the vanilla or almond extract if desired, keeping in mind that almond extract is potent and should be added sparingly.

6. Once smooth and the consistency is to your liking, use the glaze immediately to drizzle over cakes, cookies, or pastries. Allow to set for 10–15 minutes if a firmer finish is desired.
