My delicious chai cream cheese frosting only requires a few ingredients and less than 10 minutes! It's perfectly tart, not-too-sweet, and fluffy. Spread it on chai cinnamon rolls, cakes, and more.

Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ⅓-1 cup brown sugar adjust to taste; can use light or dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla paste or extract
- 1-2 teaspoon chai spice can use store-bought!
- ⅓ cup heavy cream chilled; optional, if you want it fluffier!
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix softened 8 ounces cream cheese, ⅓-1 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste), 1 tablespoon vanilla, and 1-2 teaspoon chai spice until fully combined and smooth.
- If you want it super light and fluffy, whip in ⅓ cup heavy cream.
Overwhipped and now the frosting is chunky? Stir in a splash of heavy cream until the frosting smooths back out!
