Sugar-Free Glaze with Confectioners Sweetener

June 13, 2022 by joshisbaking Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

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.

This recipe is sponsored by Purecane.

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:

  1. Sift your confectioners sweetener into a medium-sized bowl.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
  4. 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!

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

Scale
  • 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

  1. Sift your confectioners sweetener into a medium-sized bowl.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!

  • 2022, what a YEAR. 🥹 So many milestones and things to celebrate this year…

✨Made my television debut on @thegooddishtv and WON the dish-off segment with my cornbread cake! @gailsimmonseats tried a recipe of mine, LIKED it, said my name—wowowow (let me know if you want to see the whole segment).

✨ Attended #AdobeMAX with my new @adobeexpress fam! Made lots of new friends and was just the creative boost I needed to move this little platform of mine forward.

✨ Featured in a COOKBOOK. Excuse me?? So honored to be in @thebakefeed’s “Holiday Cookies” cookbook alongside other bakers I admire so much. Let it be the first of many!

✨Published 20 new recipes to @joshisbaking—most of which are my favorites to date. More to come and expect lots more pastry in 2023!

2022 had its lows too (thankful to have @woodsomc when those lows hit), but it was a year of growth and one I won’t soon forget.

Signing off for my start of the year mental break, friends (highly recommend)—see you all in 2023 and the next chapter. 👋🏻❤️

  • Some of my favorite shots from this year. Funny enough—they’re all dark, moody, and full of chocolate! Not mad about that! 👋🏻 Something about the texture/depth of these that stuck with me…

  • The top 3 most popular recipes on my blog this year (in reverse order):

3️⃣ Salted Honey Buttermilk Biscuits
2️⃣ Chocolate Orange Slice and Bake Shortbread Cookies
1️⃣ Cinnamon Sugar Pie Bites with a Cream Cheese Frosting Dip

Interestingly enough, only one of these was actually published this year (the pie bites)—goes to show that some things need a little more time to shine!

If you made any of my recipes this year: THANK YOU. 🥹 I see you (said the Na’vi) and I appreciate you! Getting tagged in your bakes makes my week.

Don’t forget to leave a review on any recipes pages if you did—those help me rank better on google and in turn helps even more folks find my recipes.

More recipes to come in 2023, friends! ❤️
