Ingredients

  • 1 cup Brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2-4 tbsp Milk or a plant-based alternative

Instructions

  1. Start out by turning your brown sugar into a brown confectioner's sugar by grinding it to a finer powder. Dump the brown sugar into a food processor or a blender and pulse it a few times to begin grinding the sugar.

  2. Stop pulsing, remove the lid, and stir the sugar a bit to redistribute and break up any clumps. Alternatively, just give it a little shake if you're using a smaller blender. Resume pulsing. Repeat these steps for a few minutes until the brown sugar is a fine powder.

  3. Transfer the brown sugar to a small mixing bowl and add the vanilla, along with two tablespoons of milk. Mix everything together until you have a smooth, consistently even mixture. Add more milk as necessary, one teaspoon at a time, mixing after each addition until a good consistency for drizzling has been reached.

  4. Use your glaze immediately to drizzle over cooled baked goods. Allow it to set for about 30 minutes before serving or storing your baking for later.
