This homemade cream cheese glaze is silky, sweet, and just tangy enough from fresh lemon juice. Drizzle it over cakes, cinnamon rolls, muffins, quick breads, or anything that needs a little extra love.

Ingredients

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 to 4 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Beat cream cheese until smooth.
2. Add powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla if using, and salt.
3. Mix in milk 1 tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches your preferred drizzle consistency.
4. Drizzle over cooled or slightly warm baked goods.

Mood Messy Tips

• Use softened cream cheese so the glaze stays smooth.
• Add more milk for a thin glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker topping.
• A little lemon keeps the glaze from tasting too heavy.
