Notes

  • STORE the icing. To make it ahead of time, keep it covered in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks until ready to use, or freeze it for 3-4 months.
    • Let it sit on the counter to soften before spreading it over your cinnamon rolls.
  • STORE Cinnamon Rolls. Due to the cream cheese, the frosted cinnamon rolls can be kept at room temperature overnight but should be refrigerated for longer storage.
  • FREEZE frosted Cinnamon Rolls for up to 8 weeks.
