Snowman Sweet Rolls + Cream Cheese Icing Recipe

I am a born and raised Floridian. When the temperatures drop below 60 degrees I become a hermit of sorts. But that doesn’t mean I stop doing fun things indoors, like baking! Instead of making cinnamon rolls the traditional way, the boys and I made snowman sweet rolls!

How to make snowman sweet rolls

1. Open a package of sweet rolls and place the rolls on a baking sheet.
2. Begin by placing 1 full roll on the baking sheet. For the second roll, remove a small portion of the rolls’ outer layer and set aside. Place that roll on top of another to begin building your snowman.
3. Next, use the small dough piece set aside to create a scarf for the snowman. Then, remove a larger portion of the top roll so it’s smaller than the other two.
4. Place that roll on top of the other two, and use the remaining dough to craft a hat for the snowman.
5. Bake as directed on the packaging.

While the sweet rolls are baking, I whipped up this killer cream cheese icing recipe. It takes just a few minutes to make and is seriously delicious.

Directions

1. Soften the cream cheese by whipping it in your mixer on a low setting for approximately 1 minute.
2. Next, add the powdered sugar and mix together until smooth.

Once the rolls have cooled enough we spread the cream cheese icing over them, followed by chocolate chips, orange tic-tacs, and bacon to form a face and buttons for the snowman.

We paired our snowman sweet rolls with an assortment of fruit, bacon slices, and Florida orange juice. I also added the included apple cinnamon mixture from the Pepperidge Farm package to the remaining sweet rolls. The boys and I had a blast creating a special breakfast and eating it!
