Maple Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 cup full-fat cream cheese also at room temperature
- 4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- A squeeze of fresh lemon or orange juice about 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment or a handheld mixer, beat the unsalted butter and cream cheese together on medium-high speed until the mixture is very smooth (about 2 minutes).
- Add the pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, fine sea salt, and your choice of lemon or orange juice. Continue to beat on medium-high speed until the frosting becomes light (about 4 minutes). Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl halfway through.
- If the frosting seems too soft for spreading, place it in the refrigerator to chill for about 10 minutes.
