To make cream cheese frosting like Cinnabon, follow these steps. Begin by allowing one pound of margarine (or butter) and one pound of cream cheese to reach room temperature. This ensures smooth mixing and better consistency.
Next, use a mixer to beat the margarine and cream cheese together until smooth. Gradually add two pounds of powdered sugar, mixing until fully incorporated. This step is crucial for achieving the right sweetness.
Once the sugar is mixed in, add two teaspoons each of lemon juice and vanilla extract. Continue mixing for at least 12 minutes. This process helps to blend the flavors perfectly and ensures a creamy texture.
For the final touch, mix until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. Using room temperature ingredients and high-quality cream cheese will give you the best results. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, and rebeat before using.
By following these steps, you can enjoy a delicious cream cheese frosting just like Cinnabon’s. Happy baking!
