MAPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Maple Cream Cheese Frosting image

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.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 2

Steps:

  • Using hand beaters, beat the cream cheese on high until smooth and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Start the beaters again and very slowly add the maple syrup in a thin drizzle while beating (if you add it too quickly, it might get lumpy). Continue beating on high until completely smooth, stopping and scraping down the sides as needed.
