Ingredients
Glaze Ingredients
- 125 g (4 oz / 1/2 cup) Cream Cheese, softened
- 80 g Icing Sugar, sifted
- 2 tbsp Strawberry Puree (fresh or thawed)
- 3-6 tsp Milk or Cream (optional, to adjust consistency)
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Icing Sugar: Gradually add the sifted icing sugar in small amounts while continuing to beat the mixture. This gradual addition prevents lumps and gives a silky texture.
- Incorporate Strawberry Puree: Add the strawberry puree to the cream cheese mixture and beat again until the glaze is well combined and smooth, with an even pink color.
- Adjust Consistency: If the glaze is too thick, add milk or cream one teaspoon at a time, beating after each addition, until the desired drizzle consistency is reached.
- Use Immediately: Use the glaze right away to drizzle over cakes, muffins, donuts, or scones for a fresh, fruity finish.
Notes
- Strawberry puree can be made by blending fresh or frozen strawberries until smooth.
- If the glaze thickens after standing, stir gently before use.
- This glaze is best used fresh for optimal flavor and texture.
- Adjust the amount of icing sugar according to desired sweetness.
- For a thinner glaze, more milk or cream can be added cautiously to avoid making it runny.
