How to Make Light Sour Cream Glaze

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
  2. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the glaze to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld.
  3. Drizzle the glaze generously over your cooled cake, cupcakes, brownies, or other baked goods. For graham crackers, dip and enjoy!
  4. Store leftover glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
