Special Notes
This cinnamon roll frosting recipe creates the perfect creamy, sweet topping for homemade cinnamon rolls. The combination of cream cheese and butter creates a rich, tangy flavor that balances the sweetness of the rolls. The heavy cream makes the frosting light and spreadable, while the cinnamon adds a warm, spicy note. This frosting is perfect for drizzling over warm cinnamon rolls or spreading on cooled ones. You can adjust the consistency by adding more or less cream, and the sweetness by adjusting the powdered sugar. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before using.
