Ingredients

  • 125 gms (4 oz/ 1/2 cup) Cream Cheese softened
  • 80 gms Icing Sugar sifted
  • 2 tbsp Strawberry Puree refer notes
  • 3-6 tsp Milk or Cream optional

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add sieved icing sugar, a little at a time, while continuing to beat to avoid lumps.
  • Add the strawberry puree and beat again until well combined and smooth.
  • To adjust the consistency, add cream or milk, 1 tsp at a time, only if needed.
  • Use immediately to drizzle over cakes, muffins, donuts, or scones.

Notes

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth glaze.
  • Strawberry puree is made by blending and straining fresh strawberries (approx 4-5 med sized strawberries).
  • Adjust the thickness: Use less cream for a thick icing or more for a pourable glaze.
  • Refrigerate any leftover glaze in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • This glaze sets nicely when chilled, making it ideal for bundt cakes or chilled desserts.
