This glaze whisks fresh grapefruit juice and zest into powdered sugar for a tart-sweet finish with a pale pink hue. It thickens as it sits, so drizzling works best right after mixing. Use it over bundt cakes, muffins, or cookies for a bright citrus note.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 3 tablespoons fresh grapefruit juice
  • 1 teaspoon grapefruit zest
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the sifted powdered sugar and salt together to remove any lumps.

  2. Add the grapefruit juice, zest, and melted butter to the sugar and whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.

  3. If the glaze is too thick to drizzle, add more grapefruit juice a teaspoon at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency.

  4. Drizzle the glaze over cooled baked goods immediately, as it will begin to set within a few minutes.
