I made these awesome filled donuts (sufganiyot) and had friends over, with their children. I wanted to make a fun donut decorating activity and needed a few glazes.

I asked ChatGPT:

I want to create donut glazing that kids can dip their own donut in. I will use different food colorings to create a few variations. I want about 3 color variations, about a cup and a half, and I want to make it ahead of time, so it shouldn't dry up.

Here's the result:

Servings: glazing for 12 donuts

Donut Dipping Glaze

Ingredients:

3 cups powdered sugar
6 tablespoons milk (or heavy whipping cream for a richer glaze)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Food colorings (your choice of 3 colors)

Instructions:

Prepare the Base Glaze
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth and lump-free. Add vanilla extract if desired. Adjust consistency with more milk (for thinner glaze) or more powdered sugar (for thicker glaze).
Divide and Add Colors
- Separate the glaze evenly into 3 small bowls (about 1/2 cup each).
- Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and stir until the color is uniform.
Storage Tips
- Cover each bowl tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the glaze to prevent drying, or store in airtight containers.
- Before serving, stir each glaze well. If thickened, mix in a few drops of milk (1/4 teaspoon at a time) to restore the desired consistency.
Dipping Fun
- Pour the glaze into shallow bowls, set out the donuts, and let the dipping party begin! Add sprinkles or toppings for extra fun.
