Recipe for Donut Glaze
If you’ve ever wondered how to achieve that glossy, perfectly sweet glaze like on a Krispy Kreme donut, I’ve got you covered. With years of recipe testing under my belt, I’ve mastered the secrets to a silky-smooth glaze—sifting powdered sugar, balancing the right liquid ratio, and creating a finish that’s never tacky, whether your donuts are fresh and warm or room temperature.
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (169g) powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- To ensure a silky smooth glaze, I recommend sifting the powdered sugar before combining it with the additional ingredients.1 ½ cups (169g) powdered sugar
- In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until pourable. Add more powdered sugar if it’s too runny or more milk if it’s too thick.1 ½ cups (169g) powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Transfer the glaze to a shallow dish. Dip one donut at a time into the glaze, allowing the excess to fall off into the bowl before placing the donuts on a drying rack.
