Instructions

How To Make Copycat Pillsbury Cinnamon Roll Icing

  • Make sure your unsalted butter is softened to room temperature to blend smoothly without lumps.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened butter and powdered sugar. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat together on low speed until fully combined and creamy.
  • Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed until the icing is smooth and spreadable. Add more milk sparingly if needed.
  • Taste and adjust by adding more powdered sugar for sweetness or more milk for thinning until you achieve a creamy, spreadable consistency.
  • Spread the icing over warm cinnamon rolls for a glossy, melty finish. Enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.

Equipment

  • Medium Mixing Bowl
  • Hand Mixer or Whisk

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for a smooth, lump-free icing.
  • Add milk slowly to control the icing's consistency and avoid runniness.
  • Sift powdered sugar before mixing to prevent clumps.
  • Try variations like maple extract or orange zest for unique flavors.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to one week; bring to room temperature before reusing.
