Description

This creamy Cinnamon Roll Icing is a simple, luscious glaze made with four staple ingredients. Perfect for drizzling over warm cinnamon rolls, it transforms both homemade and store-bought rolls into an ultimate breakfast treat with its smooth texture and sweet flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Cinnamon Roll Icing

  • 2 cups powdered sugar (confectioner’s sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons milk (can substitute with heavy cream or half and half)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy with no lumps.
  2. Apply the Icing: Pour the glaze evenly over warm cinnamon rolls. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the icing, allowing it to seep into the rolls for maximum flavor and moisture.

Notes

  • This icing is made in just 3 minutes with only 4 pantry staples.
  • It works well on both homemade and store-bought cinnamon rolls.
  • The glaze seeps into the rolls, making each bite incredibly moist and flavorful.
  • You can adjust the milk quantity slightly for a thicker or thinner glaze consistency.
