How to Make Maple Cream Cheese Frosting
I honed in on my Canadian roots and favorite sweet enhancer for this creamy maple cake or cupcake frosting and it did not disappoint! Add it on my Pumpkin Maple Cupcakes recipe with a bacon topper for an unbelievable taste.
I am not kidding when I say it is one of the best fall-flavored frostings you will taste!
To get started on this maple cream cheese frosting, you’ll need a few easy-to-find ingredients, but first, make sure the kids are in the kitchen. This is a great way to bond as a family comes the fall holiday season!
Maple Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients:
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup/stick room temp unsalted butter
That’s it!
Recipe Instructions:
This fall flavored frosting recipe also only takes ten minutes to make.
To begin, add your powdered sugar to a large mixing bowl (or your Kitchen-aid).
Next, drop in your maple syrup and vanilla. Mix.
Then add in your room temp cream cheese. It is super important that it is room temp. Room temp cream cheese makes for a smooth and creamy frosting. Cold cream cheese doesn’t blend as well!
Mix well.
Finally, add in your room temp butter and mix until fluffy.
That is IT!
If you’re reading this post after making my pumpkin maple cupcakes, this is where the frosting comes in.
Make sure to only frost cooled cupcakes, btw!
To frost, keep it rustic like I did for that fall effect topped with a piece of bacon, or you can use a 12-inch piping bag with a size 32-star tip for a bakery worthy look!
So simple, right?? Now top it on these delicious pumpkin maple cupcakes and you have a truly decadent fall dessert that’ll be gone in 24 hours (or less).
