Ingredients for a maple glaze

How to make the maple glaze

Measure out the ingredients: Measure out the confectioner’s sugar, maple syrup, and milk or cream and add them into a medium bowl.

Mix: Use a whisk to mix all of the ingredients together until you have formed a smooth glaze with no lumps.

Adjust consistency: Depending on the type of dessert you are using, you may need to adjust the consistency of your glaze. If it is too thick, add a bit more milk or cream; if it is too thin, add a bit more confectioners sugar.

Drizzle: Immediately drizzle over your cake using a spoon or measuring cup.

TIPS FOR RECIPE SUCCESS

  • Sift the confectioner’s sugar before using it in the recipe to ensure that there are no lumps or clumps. This will help create a smooth, consistent texture for your glaze.
  • Make this glaze in a measuring cup to easily frost right away.
  • Learn the proper way to thicken frosting quickly. Add the milk or cream gradually, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. This will help prevent the glaze from becoming too thin or watery, which can make it difficult to drizzle or spread over your desserts.
  • This icing will firm and harden up quickly so make sure to make it right before you plan to ice the cake.

Notes

STORAGE AND FREEZING

Storing: I don’t recommend storing this as it will harden quickly. Rather, make it right before you plan on frosting the cake. If you absolutely need to store it, put it in an airtight container and place a damp paper towel on the top of the container (not touching the icing) then cover. Mix before frosting.
Freezing: Not recommended, as freezing can cause the texture of the glaze to change, making it grainy or separating the ingredients.
