Cream Cheese Frosting
This decadent frosting is the perfect topping for Sweet Rolls! It’s absolutely rich and creamy! This recipe will frost two dozen rolls.
Servings: 16 servings (4 cups of frosting)
Calories: 399kcal
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened*
- 1 ½ cups butter softened (3 sticks)**
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 lbs. powdered sugar
- 1-2 Tablespoons milk
Instructions
- With electric mixer, beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar. Add just enough milk for desired consistency. Frosting should be a creamy, whipped texture.
Notes
- *use 8 ounces of cream cheese if you like a rich cream cheese flavor
- **use salted or unsalted butter, depending on your preference
- Frosting Sweet Rolls while still warm will result in a more glazed topping. Waiting to frost until they have completely cooled will give you a whipped, creamy topping.
- Store in refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for up to two months. Allow to come to room temperature before frosting.

[…] My Cream Cheese Frosting is perfect for these cinnamon rolls. To give it an extra Springtime flavor, remove the vanilla extract and add one teaspoon of Super Strength Strawberry Flavor LorAnn Oil to the frosting. LorAnn makes incredible flavors you can use for baking! When adding flavored oils to your frosting, be careful not to use too much – the flavor is powerful. Swap out the 1 teaspoon vanilla for 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry oil. I also add a few drops of pink gel food coloring to go along with the strawberry theme. […]
