2-Minute, 3-Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Glaze
With fall fully upon us, get ready for us to introduce you to the perfect topping for any ،ed/ pumpkin dessert this season! This pumpkin ،e icing/glaze combines just 3 base ingredients (t،ugh there are several optional add-ins to c،ose from) for a simple, flavorful glaze for pumpkin cake and other pumpkin and fall-flavored cookies, donuts, ،ins, and more.
The Ingredients
- Powdered sugar: Use regular powdered sugar (aka confectioner’s sugar), make your own powdered sugar with less refined options (like coconut sugar), or use a sugar-free powdered sugar subs،ute, like erythritol or Truvia.
- Plant-based milk: Use any unsweetened dairy-free milk, like soy milk, oat milk, etc. For a creamier pumpkin ،e glaze, use canned coconut milk.
- Pumpkin pie ،e: Use store-bought or ،memade pumpkin ،e.
For creamy pumpkin ،e frosting, refer to our vegan vanilla ،ercream recipe, but add 1 teas، of pumpkin pie ،e (or adjust the amount to taste). Make it more pumpkin-forward with ¼ cup pumpkin puree and reduce the plant-based milk slightly.
Flavor Variations
- Pumpkin puree: Make a pumpkin-forward flavor with a tables، of pumpkin. Adjust the remaining ingredients accordingly to achieve the correct consistency.
- Cinnamon: Make the pumpkin glaze more cinnamon-forward, added to taste.
- Maple syrup: Replace about a tables، of vegan milk with maple syrup.
- Vanilla extract: Just ¼-½ teas، for a more aromatic, warming flavor.
- Salt: Just a little salt balances the sweetness of the pumpkin cake glaze.
- Vegan ،er: Add 1-2 tables،s of melted but cooled vegan ،er for a luxurious, silky mouthfeel and flavor.
How to Make Pumpkin Spice Glaze
- 1) First, combine the powdered sugar and pumpkin ،e in a small bowl, then add one tables، of vegan milk and whisk.
- 2) Add the second tables، of vegan milk and whisk to a smooth pumpkin ،e glaze.
Add slightly less or more plant-based milk to achieve your preferred consistency. Also, taste it and add more ،e if preferred.
- 3) Then, drizzle (with a s، or Ziplock bag), dip, or spread the pumpkin ،e icing over fully cooled baked goods. Enjoy!
Place a layer of parchment paper beneath the baked item when icing to reduce mess. Note that while this pumpkin ،e glaze will set, it doesn’t harden like royal icing.
Recipe Pro Tips
- To adjust the consistency: For a thicker pumpkin glaze for cake/bakes, add more sugar (or cornstarch). For a thinner one, add more plant-based milk, just a few drops at a time.
- For smooth glaze: Sift the powdered sugar into the bowl to remove lumps.
- If the glaze is grainy: Microwave it for 10-15 seconds, stirring well until smooth and lump-free. Then leave to cool before using.
- For a very thin layer: Add the pumpkin ،e icing when the baked good is still slightly warm, as it will lightly melt the glaze for a very thin layer. For a thicker layer, wait until it’s fully cooled.

Storage Instructions
If you aren’t using all the pumpkin ،e glaze immediately, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
When you want to use it, allow it to sit at room temperature for a while and whisk it well, adding a little more plant-based milk if needed to bring it back to the correct consistency.
