Instructions best cinnamon roll icing
In a bowl, combine milk, cream cheese and powdered sugar. I recommend adding gradually the sugar and tasting the glaze. Adjust to make it more or less sweet.
Stir very well to mix the ingredients. If you want your glaze more liquid, add more liquid. On the contrary, if you want it thicker, limit the use of milk.
Now I would like to make a point. I made this glaze several times by gradually putting ingredients and mixing them slowly, I used the immersion blender, I used spoons, whisks, or silicone spoons. Each time, due to the consistency of the cheese, I got lumps. I have come to the conclusion that the simplest way and with fewer tools to clean afterwards is to simply mix all the ingredients with a spoon and then pass the glaze through a sieve. In this way the glaze becomes perfectly creamy and without lumps.
You can keep your icing in the refrigerator for several hours before using it. The important thing is that you keep it in a closed container. Once you need it, pour it over your cake and spread with a spoon or brush.
