When you don’t want a frosting, you want a Glazing! Cream Cheese Glazing, tops it all off…cakes, brownies, cookies, you name it.  Light, and not to sweet, Cream Cheese Glazing adds a perfect touch. Easy, adaptable, and fun to make! The one and only finale for my Caramel Apple Filled Spice Cake.

Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon softened cream cheese, ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract, 1 Tablespoon lemon juice and 1 ½ cups sifted powdered sugar.

Start by juicing your juicy lemon.

SQ Ah EEEE ZE Please.

In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese, and

Vanilla extract.

Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, lemon juice, and vanilla extract

until it looks nice and creamy and dreamy.

Gradually add the powdered sugar.

Beat the mixture until it reaches a creamy, but thin appearance. This is looking a wee bit thick, and we want a Glazing remember? No  frosting allowed!

Add a little more lemon juice – a teaspoon at a time.

Turn on the beater, and

presto, chango, let the glazing began.
