I'm sharing this quick and easy gingerbread house icing made with just 2 ingredients! It's a delicious edible glue for the walls of your house that can also be used to decorate all your cookies and cupcakes!
Prep Time: 5 minutesminutes
Total Time: 5 minutesminutes
Servings: 1cup
Ingredients
2cupspowdered sugar
2Tablespoonswater, more or less as needed
Instructions
In a medium bowl, stir together the powdered sugar and 1 Tablespoon of water until dry. Add another Tablespoon of water. It will be clumpy but keep stirring until smooth. If it needs more water, add 1 teaspoon at a time.
You want it to be smooth and but thicker than your typical icing so it doesn't run off the gingerbread house. To check if it's the right consistency, raise the spoon above the bowl. The icing should remain on the spoon when turned over. If it drizzles off, add 1 to 2 Tablespoons of powdered sugar. Add more water as needed to thin out the consistency.
Place in a zip-top bag and snip off the end to decorate your house.
Notes
Make Ahead + Storage: Store leftovers in a zip top bag in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. If you are using a frosting bag with a cut tip, simply place in a glass of water to keep the end soft. Remove the fridge about 30 minutes before you're ready to use, so it has time to soften up a bit.
