Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat them together on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, while continuing to mix on low speed. This will help avoid lumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
Add the vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to incorporate the flavors.
Slowly add in the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, while mixing on low speed. Adjust the thickness of the glaze based on your preference by adding less or more milk.
Once the glaze reaches your desired consistency, give it a final mix to ensure everything is evenly combined and smooth.
Use the glaze immediately to drizzle over your desired dessert, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Let it come to room temperature and stir before using if refrigerated.
