Ingredients

  • 8 oz. Block Cream Cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, room temperature
  • 1 pinch Fine Sea Salt
  • 3 ¼ cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon Maple Extract

Instructions

  • Add the cream cheese, butter, and a pinch of salt to a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat together until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Add the powdered sugar and mix on the lowest speed until the sugar is mostly incorporated.
  • Add the pure maple syrup and maple extract and mix for an additional 1-2 minutes until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
  • This makes the perfect amount for a 9x13 cake. Frost your cake then refrigerate for 30-60 minutes to help the frosting set. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

  1. Add up to ½ cup additional powdered sugar for a thicker frosting.
