Notes
Recipe copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only:
- Unsalted Butter: You could use salted but you run the risk of too much salt in your recipe. Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature before using it in this recipe.
- Cream Cheese: For the best results I recommend full-fat cream cheese that comes in a block. If you use reduced fat cream cheese or whipped cream cheese, your frosting may turn out too soft. Also allow your cream cheese to soften to room temperature.
- Salt: If you use salted butter, do not add additional salt.
- For the best results, use the best cinnamon. You want to make sure your cinnamon smells aromatic as soon as you open it. If it’s difficult to smell, it may have lost some of its flavor and needs to be replaced.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon to your liking. Some people like a lot and some people prefer just a hint. Taste as you go!
- Always use room temperature ingredients. This allows them to mix seamlessly and gives you a truly smooth and beautiful frosting.
