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:
- Cream the Cheese and Butter: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add Flavorings: Beat in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Gradually Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
