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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to incorporate the flavors.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Once the glaze reaches your desired consistency, give it a final mix to ensure everything is evenly combined and smooth.
Step 6
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.
