How to Make Cream Cheese Crosses Icing For Hot Cross Buns
- In a medium bowl, beat together 4 ounces (113g) of softened cream cheese and 2 tablespoons (1 ounce/28g) of softened butter until completely smooth and creamy.
- Beat in 2 tablespoons (30g) of honey and 1 teaspoon of finely grated lemon zest until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and spreadable.
- Refrigerate the icing for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly for easier piping.
- While the icing chills, prepare your favorite hot cross bun recipe (or use store-bought!).
- Once the buns are baked and slightly cooled, transfer the icing to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Pipe crosses onto the warm buns.
- Serve immediately. Do not reheat the buns after adding the icing.
