Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons Milk (or heavy cream)
  • 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps.

Step 2

Add the ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt to the powdered sugar, and whisk until evenly combined.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter in a small microwave-safe dish or on the stovetop until fully liquefied but not browned.

Step 4

Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk (or heavy cream) to the powdered sugar mixture.

Step 5

Using a whisk or hand mixer, blend the mixture together until smooth. If the icing is too thick, gradually add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 6

Taste the icing and adjust the sweetness or cinnamon flavor if needed by adding a bit more powdered sugar or cinnamon.

Step 7

Use immediately to drizzle over your favorite baked goods, or cover and store at room temperature for up to 2 hours before use.
