This smooth drizzle whisks softened cream cheese with butter, powdered sugar, and milk into a tangy glaze that sets with a light sheen. It thins easily for drizzling over warm pastries or thickens slightly for spreading, making it a versatile finish for cinnamon rolls, banana bread, or carrot cake.

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together with a hand mixer until smooth and no lumps remain.

  2. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, and beat on low speed until fully incorporated.

  3. Add the milk one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition, until the drizzle reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.

  4. Drizzle immediately over warm baked goods, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days and bring to room temperature before using.
