Ingredients:

  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (240 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1-2 tbsp milk (adjust for consistency)

Instructions:

  1. Gather all frosting ingredients and ensure butter and cream cheese are at room temperature.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and unsalted butter; beat together until smooth.
  3. Gradually add sifted powdered sugar, mixing on low speed to prevent a sugar cloud.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract and ground cinnamon, if using. Mix until fully combined.
  5. Add milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the desired creamy consistency is reached.
  6. Adjust sweetness or cinnamon according to taste.
  7. For a thicker frosting, place in the fridge for about 30 minutes before spreading.
  8. Spread generously over warm cinnamon rolls.
