Copycat Pillsbury Cinnamon Roll Icing
A delightful and creamy icing that transforms breakfast pastries into a nostalgic treat.
Ingredients
For the Icing
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature) This creamy base is pivotal in achieving a rich and smooth consistency.
- 2 tsp vanilla extract Adds a comforting aroma and deliciously warm flavor.
- 1/8 tsp fine salt Elevates the sweetness and balances the flavors beautifully.
- 3 cups powdered sugar Brings necessary sweetness and a fluffy texture.
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (room temperature) Ensures the icing achieves the perfect pourable consistency.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter for 2–3 minutes until smooth and pale.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition until thick and sweet.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
- Slowly drizzle in the heavy cream while mixing until you reach your desired creamy consistency.
Notes
For a thicker icing, use less cream; for a pourable icing, add more cream. Ensure butter is at room temperature for easy mixing. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
