Ingredients
Frosting Ingredients
- 1 cup softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup salted softened butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and salted butter together using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Powdered Sugar and Cinnamon: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese and butter mixture, about one cup at a time, mixing on low speed to prevent sugar clouds, then increase to medium speed. Add the ground cinnamon with the powdered sugar, continuing to beat until the frosting is well combined, smooth, and fluffy.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature before starting.
- If the frosting is too thick, you can add a teaspoon of milk to reach desired consistency.
- This frosting is ideal for spreading on cooled cakes or cupcakes; do not use on warm baked goods to prevent melting.
- Store leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
