The very first time I made this lemon glaze, I thought, “What else can I put this on?” Perhaps muffins… or cake, or peaches? Maybe I should just drizzle it right into my mouth. That’s how good this lemon glaze for muffins is. But remember, you can glaze anything and everything you’d like. (Including your tongue.)

Yep, Just 2 Ingredients For The Best Lemon Glaze

Lemon glaze is one of the simplest sweet treats for adding an extra oomph to your desserts. With just 2 ingredients, you’re on your way to glazing and dazzling the heck out of your guests.

1^st ingredient: confectioners’ sugar
2^nd ingredient: fresh-squeezed lemon juice

How to Make Lemon Glaze

Think the ingredients list for lemon glaze is short and easy? Wait ‘til you see how easy it is to make.

First, simply bake and cool any baked goods you’d like to glaze.

Then, start the glaze by adding confectioners’ sugar to a small bowl.

Next, begin adding fresh lemon juice by small increments (about ½ teaspoon) into the bowl. You’ll start with just ½ teaspoon first.

Using a whisk, whisk the lemon juice and confectioners’ sugar together. It’ll be quite thick.

Now, add in another ½ teaspoon. Whisk again.

You’ll want to keep doing this fairly slowly as the confectioners’ sugar takes time to dissolve. If you add the lemon juice too quickly, the glaze will seem falsely thick—it’s actually on its way to liquefying past the point of a nice, thick glaze.

Once you’re satisfied with the texture of your lemon glaze, drizzle over your desired baked goods. Allow to firm up and enjoy!
