What you need
tsp maple extract
tsp vanilla extract
cup unsalted butter
tbsp maple syrup
oz cream cheese
cup powdered sugar
tsp kosher salt
Instructions
0 Beat the cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl with a stand mixer or a hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. It will turn a light yellow. 1 Beat in the vanilla and maple extracts, as well as the maple syrup, about 1-2 minutes. 2 Add the powdered sugar and salt. Use the electric mixer to incorporate them into the cream cheese and butter mixture. If your powdered sugar has lumps in it, run it through a fine mesh strainer so that the frosting is not lumpy. 3 When the icing is smooth, chill in the refrigerator until you’re ready to ice your cupcakes or cake. You can transfer the icing to a piping bag, or you can simply dollop it onto the cupcakes. 4 Frost your baked goods and enjoy!View original recipe
