A simple sugar-free confectioners sweetener glaze for your next batch of pastries or other sweet treats! Comes together in just 5 minutes. I partnered up with Purecane for this recipe (more on them below)—let’s bake, friends.

Some Materials You’ll Need:
- Medium-sized mixing bowl
- Spatula
- Sifter
- Measuring cups and spoons
What can you glaze with this?
This sugar-free glaze is perfect to spoon over pastries! For this recipe, I whipped up a small batch of mini-pop tarts (or pocket pies, as I like to call them). Once I made the glaze, I divided it up into some smaller bowls and used food coloring to glaze each pop tart with a different color.
You could even drizzle this over your favorite loaf recipe or over some cupcakes!
With this being a sugar-free glaze, it may not lay or handle like one with regular powdered/confectioners sugar, so that’s something to keep in mind. You might just need to nudge it a bit more or pipe on with a piping bag. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag and cut the tip of one of the corners off—should work just fine!
How to Make This Sugar-Free Glaze
This is probably one of the easiest things in the world to make—trust me. All you need are a few ingredients and it comes together in 5 minutes (or less). Let’s break it down:
- Sift your confectioners sweetener into a medium-sized bowl.
- Add about 3-4 tablespoons of whole milk, mixing together with the sweetener using a spatula (I find it’s much easier to mix with a spatula first and then switch to a whisk once it’s thinned out).
- Then, just keep adding more whole milk by the tablespoon until you’ve reached a consistency you’re happy with (8 was perfect for me) and then whisk in your vanilla extract if using.
- You can drizzle or spoon the sugar-free glaze as-is, or whisk in some food coloring. You can even add a tablespoon of your favorite jam (blueberry, strawberry, etc.) for some added flavor!
If your glaze feels too thick, just add more whole milk by the tablespoon until it’s just right. Go a little overboard and now it’s too thin? Just sift in some more confectioners sweetener until it’s the right thickness.
Sugar-Free Confectioners Sweetener from Purecane
What makes this glaze sugar-free is Purecane’s Zero Calorie Confectioners Sweetener! It’s got all the sweetness of your typical confectioners sugar, but without the calories or added sugar. Win-win, if you ask me. All of their products are zero calorie alternatives to sugar made from sugarcane.
They even have brown sugar and granulated sugar alternatives you use for your bakes too! They’ll work just like the real thing, with the same sweetness. Swap them 1:1 and enjoy your sweet treats guilt-free.
No impact on blood sugar levels, no carbohydrates, no artificial chemicals, no GMOs, and best of all—no weird aftertaste. All natural and just as sweet!

Sugar-Free Confectioners Sweetener Glaze
- Prep Time: 5 Minutes
- Total Time: 5 Minutes
- Yield: ~1 1/2 Cups
Description
A simple confectioners sweetener glaze for your next batch of pastries or other sweet treats! Comes together in just 5 minutes with plenty of ways to customize.
Ingredients
- 3 cups confectioners sweetener from Purecane, sifted (~300g)
- 7–8 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
- Food coloring, Jam, Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Sift your confectioners sweetener into a medium-sized bowl.
- Start by adding 3-4 tablespoons of whole milk, mixing together with a spatula or whisk until incorporated. Then add more whole milk by the tablespoon until desired consistency and no clumps remain (8 tablespoons was perfect for me). Whisk in your vanilla extract if using for added flavor.
- You can either spoon or drizzle over your pastries/desserts as-is or add some food coloring! You can even whisk in a tablespoon or two of your favorite jam. The glaze will harden and set overtime, so if adding sprinkles, make sure to do so right after glazing.
Notes
- Use same-day as the glaze will set with time (and will harden more on your pastries/dessert overtime).
- If you want a thinner glaze, add more whole milk. Thicker? Sift in some extra confectioners sweetener!
- This glaze is great because you can divide up into a little bowls and different food coloring to each (like I did for these pop tarts) or even whisk in some of your favorite jam. It’s totally up to you!
- If you’re not using Purecane’s Confectioners Sweetener, your glaze will obviously not be sugar-free and you may need to use less whole milk than listed. Start with 3-4 tablespoons and work up from there!
