Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2-3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1-2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Cream the Cheese and Butter: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Flavorings: Beat in the vanilla extract and salt.
  3. Gradually Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Mix in Cinnamon: Stir in the ground cinnamon to taste. You may need to add more or less depending on your desired level of cinnamon flavor.
  5. Adjust Consistency: If the frosting is too thick, add a splash of milk or heavy cream. If it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar.
  6. Use Immediately or Store: Use the frosting immediately to frost your cake or cupcakes. If you need to store it, cover it tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Bring it to room temperature before using.
