It's no secret that I love my sweets… but did you know just how much I LOVE anything any everything cream cheese related??
I love cream cheese and it clearly loves me – which is especially evident when you see just how many blocks of it are stocked in the drawer of my fridge. 😉
Maybe you feel the same loving bond with cream cheese as I do – if so, you're definitely my best friend! 🙂
One of the best ways to enjoy cream cheese is when it's mixed up, turned into a delicious creamy icing and slathered on top of some fresh baked homemade cinnamon rolls.
OMG… *drool*
The recipe in this post is how I've been making cinnamon roll icing for that last couple years and it's always received great reviews from all my little taste testers! 🙂
You can also use this recipe as frosting for cupcakes too!
I like my cinnamon roll icing to be quite thick but if you prefer, you can always adjust the amount of milk used in the recipe to thin it out a little more. If you do want to make an adjustment, just make sure that you only add a little milk at a time, mix and see how it goes.
Also keep in mind that that yummy icing is going to melt down a little when you spread it on top of a nice fresh and hot cinnamon roll! 😀
Ok, now that that I've gotten you acquainted with my beloved friend cream cheese, below is a sneak peek of the Cinnamon Roll Dessert Pizza recipe I'll be posting tomorrow – I know you're going to love it!
You can find the recipe for the icing at the bottom of this post – enjoy! 😀
