Toaster Strudel Icing Recipe/product?
 

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

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'.

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.
