After making our banana glaze on our banana bread doughnuts I was intrigued by the viscosity, structure and creamy texture. It appeared that the pectin in the bananas was giving me extremely appealing results in the glaze. I wondered if I created a glaze, using LM pectin and milk, if I could reproduce the texture and look. I set about tinkering in the kitchen, relying on our work with the calcium dependent pectin to create a gel in the glaze system. We tested the first glaze: milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, LM pectin, salt and powdered sugar on Aki's newest chocolate-einkorn cake. The combination of the creamy glaze on the moist tender cake was addictive. And the pectin structured glaze is set to make an appearance in Doughnutland soon.
