Lemon Glaze (Dairy-Free)

This easy lemon glaze uses coconut milk and vegan butter to achieve the silky smoothness of perfect icing. Great for topping cookies, cakes, and desserts, this dairy-free glaze bursts with the delicious sharpness of lemon.

Fresh lemon juice and lemon zest pair perfectly with the sweetness of icing in this easy lemon glaze. I love the bright lemon accents in this recipe.

Important Ingredients

  • Fresh Lemon Juice — Fresh lemon juice is essential to bringing out the lemon flavor in this icing.

  • Lemon Zest — Lemon zest adds a sharp lemon tang to balance the sweetness in this recipe.

  • Vegan Butter — I like Earth Balance, but feel free to use a different vegan butter.

  • Coconut Milk — Coconut milk works well in this recipe to blend the ingredients together.
