Provided by Amanda Biddle

Categories     Dessert

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ounces block-style cream cheese (, softened)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (, room temperature)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1-4 tablespoons milk or half and half

Steps:

  • In a bowl with a hand mixer, beat together cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract and confectioner's sugar until smooth.
  • Add enough milk or half and half to thin to desired spreading, drizzling, or pouring consistency. If you need your glaze thinner than 4 tablespoons of liquid will allow, very gently warm the glaze (10-second increments in the microwave, stirring in between) until your desired consistency is reached. Adding additional liquid beyond 4 tablespoons will make it more difficult for the glaze to set. Glaze that is slightly warm (not hot) will pour easily and then set up, particularly when it's refrigerated.
  • Pour or drizzle over your favorite baked goods. Glaze can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Gently warm to room temperature before using for a pourable consistency. Baked goods finished with cream cheese glaze should be refrigerated for storage.

CREAM CHEESE DRIZZLE OR GLAZE



Cream Cheese Drizzle or Glaze image

We love cream cheese frosting, but sometimes it's just too heavy for certain baked goods. I tried a lot of things with the powdered sugar "glaze", but it always tasted chalky to me. No matter what I did, adding butter, cream, so on and so forth, it never tasted right. So into my kitchen marches this block of cream cheese. And it...

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 oz 1/2 block, cream cheese, room temperature
4 Tbsp 1/2 stick butter, room temperature
1 1/2 - 2 tsp vanilla or any other flavor you choose
1 c confectioner's sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Whisk these ingredients together with a wire whisk. No need to dirty your mixer for this. Just make sure they are all incorporated. Set aside.
  • 2. When your bundt cake or whatever you are frosting has cooled, put this glaze into the microwave and gently heat it until it is of pourable consistency, stir it now and then to keep it smooth. Then, using a large spoon or ladle, pour it over your target! I use a large spoon and let it flow down both sides because I am ...well, I won't use the word here, you know, perfectionist?
