- When making this frosting, be sure that your cream cheese and butter are both softened.
- The great thing about this frosting is that you can control the consistency. If you want it a bit thinner than what we show on this post, just don't add all the powdered sugar.
- Use a hand mixer to get the cream cheese frosting fluffy and creamy.
- For lump-free frosting, try sifting the powdered sugar before adding it to this easy cream cheese frosting recipe.
- Serve this smothered over Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls.
- For cream cheese frosting for cinnamon rolls, we put on the icing when the rolls are warm which melts the cream cheese icing into a thinner consistency. For a nice thick cream cheese icing, let the rolls cool first, and then frost.
