Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese and margarine in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally with a spatula. Once all the sugar has been added, mix for at least 12 minutes.
- Add the lemon juice and vanilla and briefly mix to incorporate.
Notes
- Room temperature ingredients are absolutely essential – cold cream cheese will result in lumps.
- Don't skip the full 12 minutes of mixing time – this creates the ultra-smooth, whipped texture that makes Cinnabon frosting unique.
- Use clear vanilla extract if you want perfectly white frosting.
- For a pourable glaze consistency, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to thin the frosting.
