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.

Fold in powdered sugar.
Stir in vanilla or other flavoring with only 3 Tablespoons of milk to start. Add more milk as needed.
Should you add too much liquid add more powdered sugar by the teaspoonful.
Drizzle while at room temperature over your baked goods. This will harden as it sits.
Recipe Notes
This needs to be able to drizzle it shouldn't be as thick as a frosting.
My Simply Fabulous Pumpkin Bread is wonderful plain or with this cream cheese glaze.
