Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2–4 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and powdered sugar.
- Add the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream.
- Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- If the frosting is too thick, gradually add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Once your cinnamon rolls are baked and slightly cooled, generously spread the frosting over them.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative and use almond, soy, or oat milk in place of dairy milk.
