This Coffee Glaze recipe is a simple and quick way to add a rich, coffee-flavored icing to your baked goods. Perfect for drizzling over eclairs, donuts, or crullers, this glaze combines powdered sugar, instant coffee powder, and milk to create a smooth, flavorful topping that can be adjusted for thickness depending on your dessert needs.

Ingredients

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups icing sugar (powdered sugar) (195g / ~7oz)
  • 5-6 teaspoons whole milk
  • 2 ½ teaspoons instant coffee powder or instant espresso powder (⅔ tablespoon)

Instructions

  1. Sift the icing sugar: Sift the icing sugar into a small bowl to remove any lumps, ensuring a smooth glaze.
  2. Mix initial ingredients: Add the instant coffee powder and half of the milk to the icing sugar, then mix vigorously until well combined.
  3. Adjust consistency: Gradually add the remaining milk, a little at a time, stirring until you reach the desired glaze consistency. For thick drizzles like on eclairs, aim for a glaze that takes 8-10 seconds to settle; for thinner glazes like on crullers, make it thinner so it settles more quickly.
  4. Use or store: Use the glaze immediately for best results, or cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and store for use the following day. If stored, you may need to gently reheat and stir to loosen before applying.
  5. Share feedback: Take a moment to leave a comment and rating to help others enjoy this recipe.

Notes

  • If the glaze is too thick, add milk a few drops at a time to thin it out.
  • If the glaze hardens after storing, warm it gently in a microwave or over a warm water bath before using.
  • This glaze works best on pastries like eclairs, donuts, and crullers.
  • Use instant coffee powder for the best flavor and easy mixing.
  • Store leftover glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
