How do I make cream cheese icing for blueberry lemon waffles?

To make the cream cheese, first heat it up to soften (in the microwave). I put it in for about 10 seconds per 2 oz of cream cheese used.

Next, mix the icing with unsweet almond/coconut milk and your favorite sweetener until smooth. I like to use a fork to whisk.
