Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

I used this cinnamon cream cheese frosting recipe on toasted ravioli cupcakes. It would also go great on oatmeal raisin cupcakes or snickerdoodle cupcakes.

  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 C (half stick) butter, room temperature
  • 1 t vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 2 t cinnamon (add more to taste)
  • 2-3 C powdered sugar (add more or less to make it a stiffness that you like)
  1. Mix cream cheese and butter well.
  2. Add vanilla and cinnamon.
  3. Add powdered sugar.

Can you use this on an Italian Cream Cake?

I've actually never had Italian Cream Cake (better add that to my list!). However, I looked up some recipes and I don't see why this frosting wouldn't work. You might want to double the recipe to make sure you have enough for a whole cake.

Thanks! It's a Southern favorite around here! I will try the Cinnamon Cream Cheese to add a new twist.

I just wanted to let you know that I used this frosting on some carrot cupcakes today and W-O-W! They turned out AMAZING! I am a huge fan of regular cream cheese frosting, but I feel like I used it a lot on many of my cupcakes, so I've been searching for something different to try out on them - I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out! Exactly what I was looking for and more! I'll be posting pictures soon! THANKS! :)

In my family we LOVE cinnamon!
I bet the Madagascar vanilla will go well with this recipe!

I'm going to try it this weekend!
