Ingredients for Vanilla Icing (Glaze Icing)
Powdered Sugar: You need powdered sugar to make this icing, there is no substitute. If you don’t have powdered sugar, you can make your own by blending together 1 cup white granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a high speed blender for about 1 minute, or until it looks and feels like powdered sugar.
Almond Milk: I prefer using vanilla almond milk for this recipe as almond milk has a white color to it (sometimes soy milk will have a pink tinge to it), and the extra vanilla helps bring out a sweeter flavor. Feel free to use your favorite non-dairy milk in it’s place.
Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract can be omitted if you don’t have any, but it tastes of a more true vanilla flavor with the extract, rather than only the flavored non-dairy milk.

Step one: Stir together all ingredients.
Yep, that’s it, one step.
You can make it more than one step by customizing it to your desired consistency by adding more non-dairy milk to thin it and more powdered sugar to thicken it. But, that’s the gist of it.
