Ingredients
  

Instructions 

  • Step One: Blend Cream Cheese and Confectioners’ Sugar
  • In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar. The paddle attachment on the electric mixer will help it achieve a thick consistency.
  • Step Two: Add the Milk
  • Add the milk to the cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar mixture. Mix until the frosting reaches a smooth and thick consistency.
  • Spread the frosting on the cinnamon rolls while they are still warm. This allows for the frosting to melt some on the cinnamon rolls and gives it a delicious taste.
  • Store the remaining frosting in the fridge for up to one week. You may also store it in the freezer for at least a month.

Notes

  • It is best to serve frosted cinnamon rolls while they are still warm. You should store leftover cinnamon rolls covered to prevent drying for up to two days or you may also store the cinnamon rolls for up to a week in the fridge. You can warm up the leftover cinnamon rolls by putting them in the microwave for about thirty seconds.
  • Wait about ten minutes after taking the cinnamon rolls out of the oven to add the frosting. This will prevent the frosting from completely melting and losing its texture. After ten minutes the cinnamon rolls will still be warm enough to allow the frosting to melt just the right amount.
  • If you want to try something a bit different, you can add one-fourth cup of maple syrup to your cream cheese frosting. This gives the frosting a nice maple flavor that compliments the cinnamon rolls. The maple flavor goes well with the cinnamon and creates the perfect sweet taste.
  • Orange is also a popular flavor to add to cream cheese frosting. Adding up to two teaspoons of orange zest to your frosting a fresh and fruity flavor. Orange is a popular addition to cream cheese frosting as it helps elevates the flavor and gives it a zesty taste.
  • The easiest way to frost cinnamon rolls is to use a butter knife or a spatula. This will allow you to get a nice even spread of the frosting on the cinnamon rolls.
