How Do You Make Icing with Heavy Whipping Cream?

With a whisk, mix together the powdered sugar, butter and whipping cream until smooth. Once combined add in the vanilla for that perfect flavor! Pour this mixture over your warm rolls just before serving so it’s easier to spread evenly without any clumps or lumps showing up on top of their beautiful golden color.

What Kind of Frosting Goes on Cinnamon Rolls?

There are several different types of icing or frosting you can put on cinnamon rolls. Some people like the taste of a cream cheese based icing and others want an icing that doesn’t need a cream cheese base. That is what our recipe is for.

You can always use a fruit based topping if you do not like the taste of the cream cheese icing or an icing made out of butter and powdered sugar. We have two different recipes you could use as a topping if you want to try one of those:

Another idea to use instead of frosting is a compote or jelly of a flavor you love.

When Do You Put the Frosting on Cinnamon Rolls?

I, personally, pour the frosting over my cinnamon rolls after I take them from the oven and before they cool off. That way the frosting can melt over the hot rolls and run into all the cracks and layers to give you an ooey gooey yummy cinnamon roll.

Can You Use Heavy Whipping Cream in Frosting?

Yep, you sure can and we did! The liquid in this recipe is heavy whipping cream. If you don’t have whipping cream you can substitute with almost any other liquid: water, milk, evaporated milk, coffee creamer, or coffee. You think it up and it can be tried, at least! Let me know if you come up with a “to die for” idea… I have an inquiring mind.
