Ingredients

  • tablespoon dairy-free margarine (see post above f options)
  • teaspoons dairy-free nog (I use So Delicious Dairy Free Nog)
  • 0.1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 
  • cup powdered confectioner's sugar 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • sauce pan
  • whisk
  • microwave

Directions

  1. Sift the sugar and nutmeg into a medium-sized bowl.
  2. Heat 4 teaspoons of the Nog with the margarine, in a saucepan or in the microwave (about 30 seconds) until melted and warm.
  3. Whisk the Nog-margarine mixture into the powdered sugar until smooth. It should be a little thick but drizzly. If needed, whisk in up to 2 teaspoons more of the Nog (warmed), to get the right consistency.
  4. Drizzle over your baked good or dip the top of the baked good in the icing and set right side up to set. The icing will set / harden as it cools.
