Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Orange juice. Make sure it is pulp free. You can use bottled or freshly squeezed juice that has been strained to remove the pulp.
Whole milk. heavy cream and half and half work well too.
Vanilla extract. Vanilla bean paste is a great choice, you will just have to add a little more milk to compensate for the lack of liquid.

Store/Freeze

I suggest storing baked goods topped with orange icing in the refrigerator so it stays fresh and doesn't melt.

To store or freeze the glaze itself, put it in an airtight piping bag or ziplock bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
