Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 large egg white at room temperature for fluffiness

Instructions
 

  • Place the egg white in a clean, grease-free bowl. Beat the egg white until soft peaks form.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest until smooth.
  • Gently fold the sugar mixture into the beaten egg white in three additions. Fold just until combined to keep the mixture airy. Do not overmix.
  • If the glaze is too thick, add a few drops more orange juice. If it is too thin, add a tablespoon more powdered sugar.
  • Spread or pipe the fluffy glaze onto cooled muffins immediately.

Notes

For the fluffiest texture, ensure your egg white is at room temperature before whipping. Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor. This glaze sets quickly, so work fast after mixing.
