Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes 3-5 minutes. Do not rush through this step or else you will end up with grainy and gritty icing.
  • Add vanilla extract, cinnamon powder and mix until combined.
  • Start adding powdered sugar gradually, 1 cup at a time, while mixing until all the powdered sugar has been incorporated.
  • If the frosting starts to become too thick, mix in a little heavy cream.
  • Mix one final time until icing is smooth and creamy. If icing is too thick, mix in more heavy cream. If icing is too thin, mix in more powdered sugar. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • Leftover icing can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
