This Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting has a great tangy cream cheese flavor combined with the warmth of cinnamon and it has the perfect spreadable consistency for all kinds of baked goodies.
Add the butter and icing sugar to a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat at medium speed until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.
Add the cubed cream cheese to the icing sugar mixture and beat at low speed until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again at high speed until light and fluffy. Do not overmix.
Add the vanilla and cinnamon to the cream cheese mixture, and beat again until just combined. Your frosting is now ready to use!
Notes
Cube your cream cheese and butter before adding them to the icing sugar. This helps the frosting combine more quickly and easily.
For a lump-free, smooth cream cheese frosting, ensure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature.
