Scale
- 154 grams (2/3 cup) cream cheese, room temperature
- 240 grams (2 cups) confectioner’s sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 – 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Place the cream cheese in a medium sized mixing bowl.
- Use a hand mixer to mix the cream cheese until it is completely smooth.
- Place the confectioner’s sugar, fine sea salt, vanilla extract, and 1 1/2 tbsp of whole milk into the mixing bowl.
- Using a small whisk, stir gently to combine. Stir until the confectioner’s sugar no longer collects moisture from the milk or the cream cheese.
- If necessary, add up to 1 1/2 tablespoons more of whole milk, but do it 1/2 teaspoons at a time.
- The final glaze should be the consistency of thick honey, and should pour easily over the sides of the cake. Use a spoon, spouted measuring cup, or squeeze bottle to spread the glaze over the cake.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- This glaze is easily customizable! For example, you can add up to 1/4 teaspoon (total) of your favorite spices to make a delicious spiced cream cheese glaze.
- For cinnamon rolls, you want a thicker glaze, so start with 1 tablespoon of whole milk instead of 1 1/2 tablespoons.
