Syrup Ingredients

*Ingredient amounts are located in the recipe card at the end of this post.

• Softened Cream Cheese: The star ingredient that brings that creamy, rich texture and slight tang. Softening it first makes for a smoother syrup. For a dairy-free option, try plant-based cream cheese.
• Powdered Sugar: Adds just the right amount of sweetness and dissolves easily for a smooth consistency. Substitute with a sugar-free powdered option if preferred.
• Milk: Thins out the syrup to your desired pourable texture. Any milk works here—almond, oat, or coconut are great dairy-free alternatives.
• Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor with a warm, sweet note. If you’re feeling adventurous, swap in almond or maple extract for a fun twist.
