Cinnamon Roll Icing

My quick and easy cinnamon roll icing is anything but basic! It's made without cream cheese and has a rich, but not too sweet flavor that's perfect for topping rolls, sweet breads, and more.

Cinnamon Roll Icing

Ingredients

  1. 3 Tablespoons salted butter (melted )
  2. 2 cups powdered sugar
  3. ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  4. 1-3 Tablespoons heavy cream ((preferred) or milk (any kind))

Instructions

  1. Combine melted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract and stir to combine (it’s OK if the mixture is too dry to completely combine, just move on to the next step!)
  2. Add 1-2 Tablespoons of cream or milk and stir. Add additional cream as needed, a splash at a time, until icing has reached desired consistency. I like my icing to drizzle smoothly off of my whisk, holding its shape only a brief second before it dissolves back into the bowl. I find I usually need the full 3 Tablespoons (hint: It’s OK if you like your frosting thinner and want to add a splash more!).
  3. Drizzle or spread gently over cinnamon rolls. It’s best to add the frosting when they’re still somewhat warm (I wait about 10-15 minutes after the cinnamon rolls come out of the oven)
