Nutty brown butter meets rich cream cheese and warm cinnamon spice. Delicious on top of banana bars or cake!

Steps

15 minutes

1

Brown the butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Boil and stir gently until the butter comes to a rich golden brown color. This takes just a few minutes.
2

Cream the butter and cream cheese together with an electric mixer until smooth.
3

Add vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
4

Add powdered sugar in, 1 cup at a time and beat until smooth and a good firm frosting consistency. You may need less or more powdered sugar to get to the correct consistency.
5

Frost on your favorite, completely cooled cake or bars. Chill for a few hours before serving to let the flavors and texture meld. I used this to top banana bars and it was fantastic! See my profile for the banana bar recipe.
