Cinnabon Frosting

March 27, 2009 16 Comments

Cinnabon Frostin can be made in your kitchen with this recipe. What could be better than the rich and creamy Cinnabon Frosting?  Cream cheese, butter, along with vanilla make a delightful frosting.  Please note the key to this is whipping this up for at least 12 minutes. So be prepared to sign someone up for mixer duty, (not that it should be that hard!)

    margarine is actually alot more unhealthy for you then butter because it uses hydrogenated oils which means trans fats and butter doesnt have trans fats so i would stick with butter plus it taste better.

  • Emelie

    It was just like a cinnabon

  • Lyndi

    Why not butter instead of margarine?

      I believe they use margarine, butter would taste better.

    This would make the perfect amount for The Pioneer woman cinnamon rolls that I am making tomorrow!

    I quartered this recipe and it worked out just fine! Consistency is nice and light, very fluffy, and not as heavy as the Cinnabon one, though it may become heavier after it’s been sitting in the fridge. The quartered recipe was more than enough for 1 dz whopper sized cinnamon buns! Thanks

    Having worked at Cinnabon for 6 years this recipe is very close although hugely scalled down from what we made at the bakery, Im gonna try it at home to see how it tastes. I dont see why it should be exactly the same though.

    Without a doubt as good, if not better than the original.

    hey mike, i made a dozen rolls (using 4 cups of flour) in a 15 x 9 pan and plan on using butter instead of margarine; and to cut this recipe in half. Tis my best educated guess anyhow.

  • mike

    is this correct?? 2 lbs powdered sugar?

    how much does this make? Enough for how many rolls

  • Robin

    This is the recipe you want for the icing! It is just like the REAL DEAL!
