1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (190 degrees C). Stir brown sugar, cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons heavy cream together in a small bowl until smooth and set aside.
2 Place butter in an 8x8-inch baking dish and microwave on high until melted.
3 Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Add 1 cup heavy cream and buttermilk and stir until just blended.
4 Pour half the batter into the buttered dish, then spoon brown sugar mixture randomly over the top, and use a paring knife to slightly swirl or spread the mixture. Top with remaining batter.
5 Batter will be thick, so gently and quickly spread batter as evenly as possible over cinnamon mixture.
6 Use a knife to score batter into 9 or 12 squares.
7 Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are evenly browned and cooked through, 25 to 27 minutes.
8 Meanwhile, whisk together confectioner’s sugar and cream cheese with remaining heavy cream until smooth. Spread mixture evenly over hot biscuits. Serve warm or at room temperature.
