  1. Cream together the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest with the paddle attachment on medium speed, scraping down the bowl periodically, until smooth in texture and light in color, about 5 minutes.
  2. Store under refrigeration if not using immediately. Pipe or otherwise deposit to fill pastries before baking.
