Description

This easy maple glaze recipe creates a smooth and sweet topping perfect for enhancing your favorite desserts. Made with powdered sugar, pure maple syrup, milk, and a hint of vanilla, this glaze adds a rich maple flavor and glossy finish to cakes, pastries, and more.

Ingredients

Maple Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Sift the powdered sugar: Sift powdered sugar into a medium bowl using a fine-mesh sieve to ensure the glaze will be lump-free and smooth.
  2. Add maple syrup: Pour 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup into the bowl with the sifted powdered sugar.
  3. Incorporate milk: Add 1 tablespoon of milk to the mixture to help achieve the desired glaze consistency.
  4. Add vanilla extract (optional): Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor, if desired.
  5. Add a pinch of salt: Include a small pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and bring out the maple flavor.
  6. Whisk everything together: Whisk all ingredients thoroughly until the glaze is smooth and free of lumps.
  7. Adjust the consistency: If the glaze is too thick, add more milk 1 teaspoon at a time, whisking after each addition. If it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking well to reach your preferred thickness.
  8. Taste and adjust (if needed): Taste the glaze and adjust the flavor by adding more maple syrup for a stronger maple taste or a pinch more salt if it’s too sweet.

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk, including dairy or plant-based varieties, depending on dietary preferences.
  • The glaze sets as it sits, so apply it soon after preparation for the best texture.
  • Store leftover glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week; whisk before using again.
  • This glaze is perfect for drizzling on cakes, donuts, muffins, and other desserts.
  • Adjust sweetness and flavor intensity to suit your taste by modifying the amounts of maple syrup and salt.
