Easy 4 ingredient Cream Cheese Glaze for pound cake, cinnamon rolls, bundt cake, pumpkin bread, donuts, carrot cake and more!
You’ve seen this Cream Cheese Glaze smothering a lot of my favorite baked goods over the years including Carrot Cake Bread, Cinnamon Rolls and more, but it’s so delicious you could eat it with a spoon, so I decided it deserves it’s own post to live in all it’s glory.
You’ll also see me smothering it over a few new recipes this fall {look out for Pumpkin Pound Cake, coming soon}! It’s the perfect addition to any pound cake, coffee cake, bundt cake, donut or muffin.
This easy Cream Cheese Glaze recipe uses 4 simple ingredients – cream cheese {of course}, butter, vanilla and powdered sugar, also known as confectioner’s sugar.
This sweet and creamy glaze has just a little tang to balance the flavor. It’s so good that the girls don’t even realize there’s cream cheese in it!
As you can see this cream cheese glaze goes on so smooth and has the perfect drizzle that hardens to the touch, but not to the taste!
