Step-By-Step Instructions
- Place all ingredients for the Donut Glaze Recipe into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Gently whisk them together until the mixture looks smooth and glossy.
- Check the thickness by lifting the whisk and observing how the glaze flows. If you need it thinner, add a splash of cream. For a thicker finish, sprinkle in a bit more powdered sugar.
- Dip your warm donuts into the bowl or drizzle the glaze on top. If adding decorative toppings add immediately so they will stick. Allow the donuts to rest briefly so the glaze can form a delicate crust.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I substitute regular milk for the cream?
Yes. If you only have milk on hand, you can use it to make this Donut Glaze Recipe. Begin with a small amount, maybe a tablespoon, and adjust to reach the ideal consistency. Because milk is much thinner than cream, you will reach an good consistency using less milk than you would cream. - How do I store leftover glaze?
Seal it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to five days. Bring to room temperature before using again to confirm the consistency is still what you desire. Stir in a little extra cream or milk before using again if it thickens. - Will this glaze harden over time?
If left uncovered it will form a soft shell. This creates a light crust that’s not overly sticky. With that said, you will want to make sure you don’t leave the bowl of glaze sitting uncovered too long because it will form a crust on top. If a crust forms you can just give it a stir and it will be ready to use to dip or glaze your homemade donuts.
A quick drizzle of this Donut Glaze Recipe turns ordinary desserts into sweet showstoppers.
