Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 4 ounces Unsalted butter
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
Allow the cream cheese and unsalted butter to soften to room temperature for about 30 minutes before starting.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed to combine. Increase to medium speed once incorporated to avoid a sugar cloud.
Add the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, milk, and salt. Beat the mixture on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
If the frosting is too thick, add milk one teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. If too thin, add powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time.
Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles with a spatula. Do not overmix to avoid the colors from bleeding.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cinnamon rolls. For storage, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Allow the frosting to come to room temperature and re-whip before use.
