In reply to Belinda. Hi Belinda! It's safest to refrigerate any leftover cinnamon rolls that have an icing with cream in them. :)

Do you refrigerate scrolls seeing icing has cream?

I've grown up on Cinnamon rolls started making them homemade a few years ago but was never able to get the recipe right until I found this one!!

From someone that loathes the taste of powder sugar frosting this came out great. I did a lot of research on powder sugar frosting and made some changes. I used Domino powder sugar vs store brand. I also don’t use vanilla extract. I used a bourbon vanilla bean paste and it came out amazing! This will be my go to now! Thank you for sharing!

Perfect for those of us who don’t like cream cheese icing on cinnamon rolls. Just what I was looking for…such good flavor when made with heavy cream.

In reply to Greg. Hi Greg! I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it! What substitutions did you make? I personally made this recipe and tested it several times. It's always a huge hit on top of the cinnamon rolls, so much so that people typically scrape it off to eat it.

this may be the worst possible recipe I have ever tried. I don’t think this was written by a human or tested before posting.

In reply to Carol. Hi Carol! You can certainly sprinkle in some cinnamon, but that's going to be to taste. :)

In reply to Sam Merritt. Can I add ground cinnamon to this recipe? If so, how much? I’m going to make a thin glaze for a cinnamon/pecan swirled sour cream coffee cake in a Rose Bundt pan, and don’t want to hide the pattern.

In reply to Melissa Winslow. Hi Melissa! I think it could work. It may firm up a little bit, but if you put it on some nice warm cinnamon rolls it should melt nicely. :)

In reply to Sandi Prater. Do you think this icing would have a similar texture if I made it the night before to put on my cinnamon rolls the next morning?

In reply to Sunny. Hi Sunny! You could use a little less cream to make it a bit thicker to pipe it. It won't hold good detail though. It's a soft icing. :)

Hi Sam! Quick question. Can this icing be piped at all? I came across some cinnamon roll cupcake mix (I know…I know!), but wondered if this icing could be “piped” vs. spread. Any suggestions?

Exactly what I was looking for! Smooth and decadent. Using salted butter was the right move to balance all the sweet. Yum!

In reply to Chrystal H. Hi Chrystal! I don't recommend it as the powdered sugar provides some structure here that granulated sugar would not be able to do. :(

By: Chrystal H

Chrystal H — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 14:40:30 +0000

can I use regular granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar?
