Get the Recipe: 5 Minute Cream Cheese Frosting For Cinnamon Rolls
This tart and tangy cream cheese frosting for cinnamon rolls comes together in just 5 minutes and tastes like the popular Cinnabon cream cheese frosting!
Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoons (3 ounces or 85 grams) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 Tablespoons whole milk, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (6 ounces or 170 grams) confectioners' sugar, sifted if necessary
- pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- Make the cream cheese frosting. Combine the cream cheese, milk, and vanilla in a medium-large bowl and use a handheld electric mixer to beat on low until just combined. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and salt and beat until smooth and fluffy.
- Use on cinnamon rolls. Immediately use an offset spatula to spread a generous amount of the glaze (usually around a heaping 1 Tablespoon per cinnamon roll) over the top of each cinnamon roll when fresh from the oven. The residual heat will help melt and spread the frosting.
