This creative twist on cream-cheese frosting replaces powdered sugar with maple syrup.
- 1 8 oz. block cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 tbs. unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
STEP 1
Place the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a food processor. Process, scraping down a few times, until very smooth. Make sure to scrape the bottom and corners of the bowl so there are no lumps.
STEP 2
Add the vanilla and maple syrup and process again, scraping down and repeating until well mixed.
STEP 3
Transfer to a storage tub and refrigerate for at least four hours, until thickened and spreadable.
STEP 4
Spread on cooled baked goods, and refrigerate after frosting.
