Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 oz unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp milk (optional, for consistency)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and softened unsalted butter.
Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter together on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, a half cup at a time, while mixing on low speed to prevent a sugar cloud. Once incorporated, mix on medium speed until fluffy and smooth.
Add the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat on medium speed until evenly combined and the frosting is speckled with cinnamon.
If the frosting is too thick for your liking, mix in 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or desserts, or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Let it come to room temperature before using if chilled.
