Copycat Pillsbury Cinnamon Roll Icing
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp fine salt
- 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream, room temperature
Instructions
- Beat the butter:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter on medium speed until smooth and pale, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla and salt:
- Mix in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
- Incorporate the powdered sugar:
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the heavy cream:
- Pour in the heavy cream and mix on medium speed until the icing is smooth, creamy, and spreadable. If the icing is too thick, add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
- Use immediately:
- Spread the icing over warm cinnamon rolls for the best results. Enjoy!
Tips
- Storage: Store leftover icing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Let it come to room temperature and stir well before using.
- Flavor variations: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of maple syrup for a different twist.
- Make ahead: Prepare the icing a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Bring it to room temperature and stir before using.
This Copycat Pillsbury Cinnamon Roll Icing is the perfect finishing touch for your homemade cinnamon rolls. Enjoy! 🍥✨
