Notes
Powdered sugar is sometimes called icing sugar or confectioner's sugar.
Use a non-dairy milk if you'd like.
Instead of cream you can use milk, half and half or even lemon juice or apple cider. Whatever liquid you choose, just add it slowly to the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until the glaze is at the right consistency.
