A recipe for a light, airy orange glaze that provides a fluffy topping for muffins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 large egg white

Instructions

  1. Place the egg white in a clean, grease-free bowl. Beat the egg white until soft peaks form.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest until smooth.
  3. Gently fold the powdered sugar mixture into the beaten egg white using a spatula. Fold until just combined and the mixture is light and airy. Do not overmix.
  4. Use immediately to top cooled muffins. The glaze will set slightly as it dries.

Notes

  • For a slightly firmer glaze, add a few extra drops of orange juice slowly until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Ensure your bowl and whisk are completely clean when whipping the egg white for maximum volume.
  • This glaze is best applied within one hour of making it for the fluffiest texture.
