Recipe #276879 | 5 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Christineyy!

I'm not a fan of the plain powdered sugar/milk icing that is normally used on cinnamon rolls so I like to make this recipe!

Posted on: Jan 7, 2008

  • tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk

    I made this for some cinnamon roll treats I made this morning. I'm not a powdered sugar/milk type either. The only thing I would reccommend is using the mixer for this instead of just stirring. I let my cream cheese soften before I microwaved it and I microwaved it on 45 seconds- Heat on my microwave might be different than yours- And when I "stirred it", it was still lumpy in consistancy. So I took my mixer to it, no problem. The rest I DID stir in. I thank you for this recipe. It is one I will keep using!
