Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp milk
1 pinch salt
Instructions
1. Let the cream cheese and butter soften fully at room temperature.
2. Beat the cream cheese and butter together in a mixing bowl until completely smooth and creamy.
3. Add the powdered sugar gradually and mix until fully incorporated.
4. Blend in the vanilla extract and salt.
5. Add the milk a little at a time until the frosting reaches your preferred spreading or drizzling consistency.
6. Spread over slightly warm cinnamon rolls and serve right away.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest texture and best flavor.
For thicker frosting, reduce the milk or add a little more powdered sugar.
Spread the frosting over warm, not hot, cinnamon rolls so it melts gently without becoming too thin.
