Does anyone know a recipe or a product that can match the icing on Toaster Strudel? At first, I thought that the store cake icing (out of the tubes) would do it, but it isn't buttery enough.
The toaster strudel icing is very smooth, creamy, and buttery. The closest I can think of is the cream cheese icing on a carrot cake. Would cream cheese approximate it?

I think a powdered sugar icing recipe would taste the same. It's basically powdered sugar, butter, and milk. I think this would be the closest to that icing. Crystal
However, most icings would just melt and run off the strudel.
The people who make factory food know how to make something with a very dry consistency which will stick on the pastry in the toaster, and still seem like frosting when eaten.
I don't know, but I assume it is baked onto the strudel at the factory. . . .
The icing is applied after the 'strudel' is removed from the toaster. It comes in little squeeze packs in the box, one pack per 'strudel'.

Oh,.......yeah.
Sorry, I was thinking of Pop Tart type stuff.
Well, most frosting recipes which include: powdered sugar butter or margarine a few drops of water or milk some vanilla
will come pretty close, I think. There isn't any great mystery about it, I don't think!
(But, then, I was wrong about what you were talking about, before!)

If the icing is going into the toaster, I'd omit the butter. It would surely cause it to melt and run.
Yeah, these are basically "soft" pop tarts without the frosting. You put them in a toaster, and then apply the icing afterwards. Thing is, they're like those fast food ketchap packets, which I usually get more on my hands than on the food, so I don't like 'em.
I tried those Cake Mates icing tubes, but they were crustier and less buttery than the Strudel variety. The Strudel icing is softer and more buttery, like a carrot cake frosting, which is cream cheese, right?
Thanks for the info, everyone. Will see what I can do.
