Categories     Mixer     Dairy     Dessert     No-Cook     Quick & Easy     Cream Cheese     Vanilla     Birthday     Maple Syrup     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes about 3 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl until smooth. Add powdered sugar, syrup, and vanilla; beat until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use softened cream cheese: Softened cream cheese will mix more smoothly with the other ingredients and create a creamier icing.
  • Beat the cream cheese until fluffy: Beating the cream cheese until fluffy will help to incorporate air and make the icing light and creamy.
  • Add the maple syrup and powdered sugar gradually: Adding the maple syrup and powdered sugar gradually will help to prevent the icing from becoming too thin or too thick.
  • Use real maple syrup: Real maple syrup will give the icing a more authentic maple flavor.
  • Chill the icing before using: Chilling the icing before using will help it to set and make it easier to spread.

Conclusion:

This maple cream cheese icing is the perfect finishing touch for any cake, cupcake, or cookie. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like it sweet, tangy, or somewhere in between, this icing is sure to please everyone.
