MAPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This irresistibly light and creamy maple cream cheese frosting is made with only 2 ingredients and comes together in minutes! You can use it on any of your favorite cakes or cupcakes (see the Notes below). It's important that the cream cheese is completely softened when making this frosting. Also, be sure to add the maple syrup very slowly-start with just a few drops, then add it slowly in a steady drizzle (patience is key!). If you go too fast the frosting could develop lumps (but don't worry, it will still taste great). You can cut this recipe in half for a smaller batch.

Continue beating on high until completely smooth, stopping and scraping down the sides as needed.

- Use unsalted butter to prevent the frosting from becoming too salty.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture. This will help prevent the frosting from becoming lumpy.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a little milk or cream. If the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar.
- For a richer frosting, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- For a nutty flavor, add a teaspoon of almond extract to the frosting.
- For a boozy frosting, add a tablespoon of amaretto liqueur to the frosting.
