A delightful café-style treat that combines the warm spiced aroma of cinnamon rolls with the refined flavor of matcha. Instead of baking the frosting with the rolls, this recipe keeps the matcha cream cheese topping fresh, preserving its vibrant green color and balancing sweetness with a touch of tanginess.

Ingredients
-
100 g cream cheese
-
20 g unsalted butter
-
50 g powdered sugar
-
1 tsp lemon juice
-
4 g Matcha
-
4–6 frozen cinnamon rolls
Matcha Cream Cheese Frosting
Base
Directions
Bring the cream cheese and butter to room temperature.
In a bowl, mix the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
Add lemon juice, then gradually mix in powdered sugar in two additions.
Sift matcha into the mixture and stir until smooth and evenly green.
Bake the cinnamon rolls in a toaster oven until warmed through, then spread the frosting generously on top.
Recipe Note
Keeping cinnamon rolls and matcha frosting separate enhances the clarity of both flavors.
Traditional cinnamon rolls are baked with melted frosting, but this can dull the matcha’s color and flavor.
Using frozen cinnamon rolls makes the recipe simple and accessible.
