Ingredients

  • 220 g cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Add the softened cream cheese and butter to a mixing bowl and whisk together until smooth, light, and fluffy.
  • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then whisk again until everything is fully combined and creamy.
  • Place the icing in the fridge while your cinnamon rolls bake and cool completely.
  • Avoid spreading the icing on warm rolls, as the heat will cause it to melt instead of staying thick and smooth.
