cinnamon roll icing-cindy's cinnamon roll?

Question

I am looking for a recipe for cinnamon roll icing that tastes like Cindy's Cinnamon Roll icing. It is a very sweet white icing with a thick consistency. My husband LOVES snickerdoodles topped with this icing that his childhood Nanny used to make but she refuses to give up her homemade icing recipe up to anyone. Please help- I would love to surprise him.

Answer 1

The usual cinnamon roll icing is made up from powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla and a little milk. Sometimes you can add cream cheese to give it a thicker texture. The usual recipe is as follows:

2 cups powdered sugar
3 T butter
1 tsp vanilla
3 T milk

Blend softened butter with powdered sugar and vanilla, add milk until you reach the desired consistency, adding more milk by th teaspoon as you blend.

Answer 2

Prep Time: 2 hours, 00 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Ingredients: 1/2 packages (about 3-1/4 teaspoons) dry yeast 1/4 cup warm water 1/2 cup shortening 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk 1 egg 4 1/2 cups sifted flour melted butter brown sugar cinnamon Vanilla Frosting 2 cups powdered sugar 1 tablespoon butter, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 tablespoons of milk or cream Preparation: Add the warm water to the yeast and soak 10 minutes. Scald milk; pour over the shortening. Add sugar and salt and cool to tepid. Add the dissolved yeast and beaten egg. Add 4 cups flour adding one at a time beating after each addition. Dough should be soft yet firm enough to handle. Knead on floured board until elastic and smooth. Avoid too much flour. Turn dough into well oiled bowl. Let rise for 1-1/2 hours. Press dough down and divide into workable size. Roll dough out into a rectangle. Cover with melted butter. Layer with a generous thick layer* of brown sugar. Sprinkle on cinnamon* as desired. If you like raisins, layer on a layer of raisins. Roll up jellyroll fashion. Using a scissors or a piece of string, cut off slices about 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick. Place slices in an 8 or 9 inch round greased cake pan. Place one slice in the middle and other slices around it. Press rolls down to even out and fill pan. Let rise until rolls fill the pan generously...about another hour. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 15 - 20 minutes. If rolls get too brown, cover with a piece of tine foil until the end of baking. Do not over bake rolls. Remove immediately from pan by inverting onto a plate and then tip over onto another plate to right the rolls. For the Frosting: In a medium bowl, place sugar, butter and vanilla. Then stir in enough milk or cream to reach a thick, hardly-able to stir consistency. Spread over warm rolls

Answer 4

It is most likely just powdered sugar and a touch of water or juice and some vanilla. Just add a tiny bit of the liquid along with some vanilla until it is the consistency that you are looking for.
