Orange Glaze Icing
Servings 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar also known as powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice plus more as needed
- 1 tablespoon orange zest from 1 large orange
Instructions
- Add 1 and 3/4 cups of confectioners' sugar to a medium bowl. Sift it first for a smoother glaze.
- Add 2 tablespoons of fresh orange juice and 1 tablespoon of orange zest to the bowl.
- Whisk everything together until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Adjust the consistency as needed. Add more orange juice (one teaspoon at a time) for a thinner glaze, or more powdered sugar for a thicker one.
- Drizzle or pour the glaze over your cooled baked goods and let it set for about 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Always use fresh-squeezed orange juice and freshly grated zest for the best flavor. Bottled juice won't give you the same vibrant citrus taste. Store leftover glaze in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Stir and bring to room temperature before using again. For a creamier version, add 1 teaspoon of melted butter.
