Use this easy, no-cooking-necessary glaze to ice doughnuts and cupcakes, or drizzle over anything else you want.

　　

Ingredients

2 cups confectioners' sugar

　　½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

　　½ cup plus 1 tablespoon whole milk, at room temperature, plus more as needed

　　½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

　　2 pinches of fine sea salt

　　

Step 1

Sift the sugar into a large mixing bowl. Add the cocoa powder, milk, vanilla, and salt and whisk or stir with a spoon until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk to thin it to the desired consistency.

　　

Step 2

If not using within 10 minutes of mixing, cover the bowl with plastic wrap to keep the glaze from drying out. Store at room temperature.
