Add vanilla bean paste (see note) and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth.
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted, 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Pour glaze over baked goods as desired, or store for later. The glaze will set as it cools.
Store the glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze the glaze in an airtight container for up to three months.
Enjoy!

Notes

Note on vanilla bean paste - I use vanilla bean paste for lovely flavor, and the paste leaves lovely black flecks of vanilla bean in the glaze! If you don't have vanilla bean paste or prefer not to use it, you can use an equal measure of vanilla extract instead.
