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*

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!
