Perfect Cinnamon Roll Icing

Ingredients

  • 7 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Steps

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Beat butter and cream cheese together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy.
  3. Blend in milk and vanilla.
  4. Gradually mix in confectioners' sugar and salt until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Frost the cinnamon rolls with about ¼ of the icing when they are still warm. When they’re cooled, top with remaining icing. The bottom layer will not only melt into the pastry, it will serve as a sort of protective barrier that will keep the cinnamon rolls fresher for longer. Enjoy!
