This delicious topping can be made in different variations and is always a hit. It's delicious on cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, pumpkin bread and your favorite soft sugar cookies. Whatever is left over you can always freeze in a zip lock bag and it stays soft when frozen. Here are the two variations I created.
Lemon Cream Cheese Whip- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
Candy Lemon Drizzle- 1 cup fine sugar/caster sugar
- Lemon juice, just enough to dissolve the cup of sugar, freshly squeezed
Pour the lemon juice into the sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix together until the sugar is dissolved in the lemon juice.Pour the mixture into a heavy-based saucepan. Bring to the boil.Pour the mixture into a heavy-based saucepan. Bring to the boil.Remove from the heat. Drizzle with a fork over your cookies or desert. The syrup will harden into a candy form. Very delicious!Almond Cream Cheese WhipUse same recipe as above however replace lemon extract with almond extract. Crumble graham crackers over top, brown sugar and almonds. Very addicting!!
Tip: For pumpkin bread and chocolate cake you can use vanilla extract. This topping delicious with so many extracts. Take a visit to the bakery isle and try orange, cherry and so many others.
