Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla.
Adjust with milk if needed.
Spread over warm (not hot) rolls so it melts slightly.
💡 Tips That Actually Matter
- If your dough feels stiff, add a tablespoon of milk—not more flour.
- Don’t skip the second rise; that’s what makes them fluffy instead of dense.
- For extra gooey rolls: pour ¼ cup heavy cream over them right before baking.
- Use dental floss for clean cuts—knives tend to squash the dough.
🔄 Easy Variations
- Swap walnuts for pecans or almonds
- Add raisins or chopped dates
- Drizzle caramel on top for a dessert-style version
