Make the Glaze

  1. Whisk together the powdered sugar with the milk or cream until it forms a smooth white glaze. The mixture should be thick and pourable. If it is too thin or runny, whisk in more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time to thicken the glaze.
  2. Pour the glaze evenly over the top of the cooled strudel. You can cover it completely or make a drizzle pattern.
