Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk or Spatula
  • Fine Mesh Sieve
  • Wire Rack
  • Sifter

Ingredients

  • 120 g powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk to desired consistency
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter optional but recommended

Instructions

  • Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder together using a fine mesh sieve.
  • Slowly pour in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, stirring until achieving a soft, spreadable consistency.
  • Stir in the vanilla essence and melted butter, if using, to enhance texture and shine.
  • Dip each mini donut into the glaze, coating evenly, and place them on a wire rack. Let them rest for 15-20 minutes to firm up.

Notes

For a smoother glaze, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Cold ingredients can cause the mixture to seize. Let the glaze rest to achieve the perfect texture; don’t rush this step! Feel free to experiment with flavored extracts like almond or orange for a unique flair. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, and give it a good stir before using.
