Calories: 145kcal
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups (170 g) confectioners sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Beat cream cheese and butter. In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, or in the bowl of your stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on medium-high speed, for about 2 minutes until smooth and combined. 4 ounces cream cheese 4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter
- Add sugar. Add in the powdered sugar, about a ½ cup at a time and mix on low speed until combined. 2 cups (170 g) confectioners sugar
- Add vanilla. Then beat in vanilla extract until combined. Beat on medium-high speed for about an extra 1-2 minutes until fluffy and light in texture. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice rolls. Spread the cinnamon rolls with the cream cheese icing. I like to ice the rolls while they are still slightly warm so the icing melts on top of the rolls a bit.
Notes
- Storage: Can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. If you make it ahead of time, you may need to re-whip it again and let it soften a bit before using.
