Cinnamon Brown Sugar Frosting Recipes

BROWN SUGAR BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes 3-5 minutes. Do not rush through this step or else you will end up with grainy and gritty icing.
• Add vanilla extract, cinnamon powder and mix until combined.
• Start adding powdered sugar gradually, 1 cup at a time, while mixing until all the powdered sugar has been incorporated.
• If the frosting starts to become too thick, mix in a little heavy cream.
• Mix one final time until icing is smooth and creamy. If icing is too thick, mix in more heavy cream. If icing is too thin, mix in more powdered sugar. Enjoy!

OOEY-GOOEY CINNAMON BUNS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon sugar and yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter and salt; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm.
• In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture, milk mixture, eggs and 1 1/2 cup flour; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• While dough is rising, melt 3/4 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 3/4 cup brown sugar, whisking until smooth. Pour into greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle bottom of pan with 1/2 cup pecans; set aside. Melt remaining butter; set aside. Combine remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup pecans, and cinnamon; set aside.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, roll into an 18x14 inch rectangle. Brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter, leaving 1/2 inch border uncovered; sprinkle with brown sugar cinnamon mixture. Starting at long side, tightly roll up, pinching seam to seal. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. With serrated knife, cut into 15 pieces; place cut side down, in prepared pan. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in volume. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool in pan for 3 minutes, then invert onto serving platter. Scrape remaining filling from the pan onto the rolls.

BROWN SUGAR & CINNAMON ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Using a stand mixer or hand-held mixer, mix at low speed until all ingredients are incorporated. Then increase the speed a bit and mix until frothy.
• Into your ice cream machine's frozen churning tub, pour the mixture and churn for 15-18 minutes (or per your ice cream machine model's instructions) or until mixture resembles soft-serve ice cream.
• Using a rubber spatula, quickly turn ice cream into a freezer container. I prefer to use a rectangular, wide container and pour the mixture in 2 inches thick because the ice cream freezes more quickly this way. Freeze for 2-4 hours or until frozen solid or to your preferred consistency.
• Serve and enjoy!
