Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 113 grams cream cheese
- 60 ml pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 300 grams powdered sugar
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and cream cheese together using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Add the pure maple syrup and vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 100 grams at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition to avoid a sugar cloud.
Step 4
Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, increase the mixer speed to medium and continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Add a pinch of salt and stir to enhance the flavors. Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness level with a little more maple syrup, if desired.
Step 6
Use the frosting immediately to ice your cake, cupcakes, or cookies, or store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Bring the frosting back to room temperature and beat it again briefly before using.
