Notes
Eliminate lumps: Sift powdered sugar before adding it to the glaze to eliminate any lumps. This ensures a smoother and lump-free consistency in your glaze.
Room temperature ingredients: You’ll want to ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a smooth blend. If using coconut oil, you will want to have it in a liquid form.
Consistency control: It’s essential to add lemon juice gradually and mix well to achieve the desired consistency.
Sieve for smoothness: If you want an extra smooth glaze, pass the freshly squeezed lemon juice through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pulp or seeds. This ensures a silky texture in your glaze.
Experiment with flavors: Don’t hesitate to experiment with additional flavorings. Vanilla extract, almond extract, or a splash of citrus liqueur can complement the lemon flavor and add depth to the glaze.
