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
Instructions
- Sift the icing sugar into a small bowl.
- Add the coffee powder and half the milk then mix vigorously to combine.
- Add the remaining milk a little at a time until you have the desired consistency. - For eclairs or a thick drizzle over pastries, you want a consistency where the icing takes 8-10 seconds to settle in on itself again.- For crullers or a thin donut glaze, you’ll want it much thinner so it settles in on itself very quickly.
- Use immediately or wrap the bowl tightly with plastic wrap for use the following day. You may need to heat it slightly and give it a mix to loosen it up again the following day.
