There's been a whirlwind of excitement around this Super Bowl, with young 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy leading his team against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, fresh off their 2023 Super Bowl title.

• ¼ cup of powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
