A very thick glaze with a bold, caramel-like flavor, this is an interesting way to use brown rice syrup in desserts. The intense flavor goes perfectly with spice or any strongly flavored cupcake. The texture of this glaze is very sticky at first but it well set up after an hour, or pop finished cupcakes in the fridge to speed it up.

Ingredients

1/2 cup full-fat soy milk
1/4 cup soy milk powder
1 tablespoon arrowroot
1/2 cup brown rice syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  1. Step 1

    In a small saucepan, whisk together soy milk, soy milk powder, and arrowroot. Stir constantly over medium heat till arrowroot is cooked and mixture starts to thicken, about 4 minutes. Stir in brown rice syrup, turn up heat to medium high and bring to a gentle boil, then bring heat back down so mixture is at a low simmer, all the while stirring constantly. Cook till mixture is thick and slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Sauce will have a thick consistency, like cake batter. Whisk in vanilla and remove from heat.

    Step 2

    Allow to cool 10 minutes before spreading on warm cupcakes.

Cooks' Note

To measure stick brown rice syrup, lightly spray or rub canola oil on measuring cups. The measured syrup will easily slide right out.
