Cream Cheese Glaze
Cream Cheese Glaze….more flavor than a plain glaze
When you need just some light glaze over carrot cupcakes, pumpkin bread, muffins or even a quick bread….this is my favorite go to recipe. This could be called cream cheese glaze frosting. It has more flavor than just a plain powdered sugar glaze.
Depending on what you are using this for you can use other extracts or even a liquor or brandy.
