How to Make Alternative Bundt Cake Glaze Using Sweetened Condensed Milk

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk and 2 large egg yolks. Whisk constantly.
  3. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens slightly and is just about to boil (do not boil).
  4. Immediately remove from heat and pour the mixture into a chilled bowl to prevent further cooking.
  5. Let the glaze cool slightly until just warm to the touch (about 5 minutes).
  6. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  7. Pour the glaze evenly over your completely cooled bundt cake. Let it set before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
