This simple glaze whisks together fresh lime juice, zest, and powdered sugar into a bright, tangy finish for pound cakes, scones, and quick breads. It thickens slightly as it rests, forming a glossy coat that firms up without turning hard. Ready in minutes, it adds a citrusy contrast to sweet baked goods.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 pinch salt

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the sifted powdered sugar, lime juice, zest, milk, and salt together until smooth and no lumps remain.

  2. Check the consistency; it should be thick but pourable. Whisk in more milk a few drops at a time to thin, or more powdered sugar to thicken.

  3. Let the glaze rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly before using.

  4. Pour or drizzle the glaze over fully cooled baked goods, letting it set for about 15 minutes before serving.
