This glaze is pure decadence in drizzle form. Velvety cream cheese meets rich maple syrup for a sweet, earthy base that’s smooth and indulgent. A splash of bourbon adds a sultry warmth—subtle, but just enough to make your taste buds raise an eyebrow.

Perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy, this glaze doesn’t just coat your cinnamon rolls—it elevates them. It’s the kind of finishing touch that turns breakfast into a full-blown experience. Spoon it on warm and let it melt into every swirl and crevice.
