Why Make This Recipe

Iced Cinnamon Rolls are a delightful treat that can brighten any morning. They are soft, sweet, and covered in a creamy icing that adds an extra touch of indulgence. Whether served for breakfast, a snack, or dessert, these rolls are sure to please everyone. They also make for a wonderful homemade gift when shared with friends and family.

How to Make Iced Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 packet instant yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 large eggs
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter until warm, then add to the dry ingredients. Add eggs and mix to form a dough. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Let it rise covered for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Roll the dough into a rectangle, then spread with a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up and cut into 12 rolls.
Place rolls in a greased baking pan and let rise for another 1-2 hours. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
For icing, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled rolls.

How to Serve Iced Cinnamon Rolls

Iced Cinnamon Rolls are best enjoyed warm and fresh out of the oven. You can serve them as a cozy breakfast paired with coffee or tea. They can also be a delightful afternoon snack or a sweet treat after dinner. Feel free to serve them on a festive plate for a special occasion!

How to Store Iced Cinnamon Rolls

If you have any leftover Iced Cinnamon Rolls, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. If you want to keep them for a longer period, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. For even longer storage, consider freezing them. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Tips to Make Iced Cinnamon Rolls

Make sure the milk is warm, but not hot, when adding it to the dry ingredients to activate the yeast properly.
Knead the dough enough to make it smooth. This helps the rolls rise well.
If you want to add a bit of texture, consider adding nuts or raisins to the filling.
Don’t skip the icing! It adds a delicious finish that makes the rolls even more enjoyable.

Variation

For a different flavor, try adding chocolate chips to the filling or substituting the cinnamon with cocoa powder for chocolate rolls. You can also replace the cream cheese icing with a simple glaze made from milk and powdered sugar.

FAQs

Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the dough, let it rise, and then store it in the refrigerator overnight. Just let it come to room temperature and rise again before baking.

Can I use whole wheat flour instead?
Yes, you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. However, the rolls may be denser in texture.

What can I do if my dough doesn’t rise?
If the dough doesn’t rise, make sure your yeast is fresh. Also, try placing the dough in a warm, draft-free area to encourage rising.
