Description
Delicious cream cheese icing perfect for cinnamon rolls.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups (170 g) confectioners sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Beat cream cheese and butter. In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, or in the bowl of your stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on medium-high speed, for about 2 minutes until smooth and combined.
- Add sugar. Add in the powdered sugar, about a ½ cup at a time and mix on low speed until combined.
- Add vanilla. Then beat in vanilla extract until combined. Beat on medium-high speed for about an extra 1-2 minutes until fluffy and light in texture.
- Ice rolls. Spread the cinnamon rolls with the cream cheese icing. I like to ice the rolls while they are still slightly warm so the icing melts on top of the rolls a bit.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality vanilla extract.
- Make sure cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for easier blending.
