Maple Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting

Most cream cheese frosting recipes use many cups of confectioner’s sugar. This recipe uses only pure maple sugar, making it not only more delicious but so much healthier! Bring to room temperature 8 oz cream cheese and 6 tablespoons unsalted butter. Add the cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on low. Slowly add in chunks of butter until it is well incorporated. Pour in 1 cup pure maple sugar. Then add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
