📖 Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the cinnamon roll dip. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy – about 2-3 minutes. Make sure there are no lumps!
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix at this stage, as it can make the dip too dense.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined. Taste and adjust the amount of cinnamon to your liking.
4. In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon for the cinnamon swirl. Mix well.
5. Gently fold the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the cream cheese mixture, creating a beautiful swirl pattern. Don't overmix – you want to maintain the distinct swirls.
6. Now, let's make the cream cheese frosting. In a clean mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
7. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated. Increase the speed to medium and beat for another minute until the frosting is light and fluffy.
8. Transfer the cream cheese frosting to a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip, or simply use a spoon to dollop it on top of the cinnamon roll dip.
9. For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the frosting.
10. Cover the serving dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is optional, but I highly recommend it!
11. Before serving, garnish with additional cinnamon, a drizzle of honey, or chopped pecans, if desired. Serve with your favorite dippers and enjoy!
