Dairy Free Classic Glaze

This simple glaze comes together in minutes, with sifted powdered sugar whisked until every lump disappears into a silky base. A touch of vanilla and a pinch of salt round out the sweetness, giving it that classic bakery-style flavor without any fuss. The real trick is in the whisking: adding liquid gradually until it falls off the whisk in a slow, steady ribbon, thick enough to coat but loose enough to drizzle beautifully over cakes, cinnamon rolls, or cookies. It sets into a smooth, glossy finish that firms up just enough to hold its shape without cracking. This one is an easy, versatile finishing touch to keep in your dairy free baking rotation.

Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened oat milk, measured 1:1. It works well in drinks, batters, sauces, and soups; avoid it where milk sets the texture, like custards, puddings, and frozen desserts.
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Instructions

1
Sift the powdered sugar into a mixing bowl to remove any lumps.
