The Perfect Cinnamon Roll Icing
This creamy and rich icing complements cinnamon rolls perfectly, adding a delightful sweetness that elevates your baking to a new level.
Ingredients
For the Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar Sifted for a smoother texture
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened) Ensure it is at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened) Ensure it is at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds flavor depth
- 1-2 tablespoons milk Adjust for desired consistency
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your icing ingredients on your kitchen counter.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and cream cheese. Beat them together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture and mix on low speed to prevent a sugar cloud. Add the vanilla extract.
- Slowly pour in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you've reached your desired icing consistency.
- Taste the icing and adjust with more powdered sugar for sweetness or a splash of milk for a creamier texture, if needed.
- Once your cinnamon rolls are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle or slather the icing on top and enjoy.
Notes
Store any leftover icing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Allow it to sit at room temperature before using again, and if needed, remix with a teaspoon of milk.
