Cinnamon Roll Icing
Description
The Cinnamon Roll Icing is composed of softened butter and cream cheese mixed thoroughly with powdered sugar to form a smooth mixture. Milk or half and half is added gradually to achieve a spreadable consistency suitable for warm cinnamon rolls. The cream cheese contributes a slight tang that balances the sweetness. This icing is best applied warm to rolls to melt slightly into them, enhancing their flavor and texture.
The recipe allows for flexibility in texture: more milk yields a thinner icing, while additional powdered sugar produces a thicker one, catering to personal preferences. Leftover icing can be stored covered in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks or frozen for 3-4 months, then softened at room temperature before use.
Frosted cinnamon rolls can be kept at room temperature overnight because of the cream cheese content but should be refrigerated if kept longer. They may also be frozen for up to 8 weeks, making this icing suitable for make-ahead preparations and extended storage.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- milk or half and half, enough to make it a spreadable consistency
Instructions
- Mix ingredients in a medium bowl and beat until smooth. Spread over warm cinnamon rolls.
Notes
- Adjust thickness by adding milk for thinner or more powdered sugar for thicker icing.
- Store covered icing in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze for 3-4 months; soften before spreading.
- Frosted rolls can sit at room temperature overnight but need refrigeration for longer storage or freezing up to eight weeks.
