Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To make a cream cheese icing, beat 1 1/2 oz cream cheese, 4 teaspoons cold milk and 3/4 cup powdered sugar until smooth.
  • tip 2
    Use a cheese grater if you don’t have a food processor. If you use a cheese grater, you don’t have to chop the apples or carrots first.
