Scale
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (more as needed)
- Optional: 2 oz cream cheese for a creamier version
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and mix until combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and milk, adjusting the consistency by adding more milk 1 teaspoon at a time if needed.
- If using cream cheese, beat it in with the butter at the beginning for a creamier texture.
- Spread over warm cinnamon rolls so the icing melts slightly into the rolls.
Notes
- Use cream cheese for a tangier, richer flavor.
- Double the recipe for a larger batch of cinnamon rolls.
- Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge; bring to room temperature before using.
