Lemon Glaze

You need just 3 ingredients for this simple, naturally vegan lemon glaze recipe, perfect for drizzling and spreading over cakes, cupcakes, cookies, donuts, and more (Keto lemon glaze option included). This 3 Ingredient Lemon Glaze is incredibly easy to make and great to have on hand to dress up your favourite baked goods.

1 cup confectioners' sugar
2½ Tbsp. lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 tsp. lemon zest, freshly grated

In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. If you need to thin it out more, add more lemon juice ½ Tbsp. at a time.

Cook's Notes: There are several ways to easily adjust this confectioners' sugar lemon glaze, including:

• Salt: A pinch of salt will enhance the flavours and balance the sweetness in the lemon cake glaze. All you need is a pinch.
• Vegan Butter: Add a tsp. of melted unsalted (or salted) plant-based butter to the lemon icing glaze for a silky mouthfeel and richer flavour.
• Strawberry Lemon Glaze: Either blend and strain strawberries or combine sliced strawberries and sugar in a small bowl and allow it to macerate. You can then use the juice extracted from the fruit instead of some of the lemon juice in the icing.
• Lemon and Raspberry Drizzle: Use the same method as above, but with raspberries.
• Lemon Elderflower Glaze: Use a tsp. or so (adjust to taste) of elderflower cordial in place of some lemon juice.
• Ginger Lemon Drizzle icing: Add a small amount of the syrup from a jar of stem ginger in place of some lemon juice.
