– 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened – 2 oz cream cheese, softened – 1 cup powdered sugar – ½ tsp vanilla extract – 1–2 tbsp milk
Use 2 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter for richness. It should be soft but not melted to help the icing whip up smooth and creamy.
Blend in 2 ounces of softened cream cheese for a subtle tang and velvety texture that clings beautifully to fresh-baked cinnamon rolls.
Gradually add 1 cup of powdered sugar to the butter and cream cheese, beating until light and fluffy. Sift first to avoid lumps.
Stir in ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1–2 tablespoons of milk to reach your desired consistency—drizzly or spreadable, your choice.
Spread the icing over warm cinnamon rolls so it melts into every crevice. Serve immediately and enjoy the gooey perfection.
