Cinnamon Roll Icing
Cinnamon Roll Icing is the perfect homemade frosting for any cinnamon roll. Add this icing to cinnamon rolls from scratch or enhance a store-bought roll.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup butter softened, I used salted
- 1 cup powdered sugar or more for desired consistency
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Beat the butter and cream cheese together on medium speed until completely smooth. Add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add the vanilla and mix until combined.
- I like to spread these on the cinnamon rolls while they are still warm, about 10-20 minutes after they come out of the oven. This allows part of the icing to melt into the rolls, and leaves some on top. For icing that does not absorb and sits on top of the rolls, add after rolls have completely cooled.

Notes
- This makes enough icing to ice 12 standard sized cinnamon rolls or the amount that fits into a 9x13 pan. For rolls with extra icing, make a 1 ½ batch.
- You can use salted or unsalted butter for this recipe. I like the hint of added savory that salted butter adds, so I used salted.
- This makes a nice spreadable frosting that will melt into your warm cinnamon rolls. For a thicker frosting, add an extra ½+ cups of powdered sugar.
- To melt all the frosting into the rolls, put the frosting on as soon as they come out of the oven, not waiting for them to cool at all.
