Maple Cream Cheese Glaze Recipes

MAPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING RECIPE

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer with the whisk attachment or with a large bowl and handheld mixer, beat butter and cream cheese on medium-high speed until very smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and lemon/orange juice. Beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl halfway through.
• If needed, chill for 10 minutes in the fridge to stiffen slightly to a spreadable consistency.

CINNAMON BUN PANCAKES WITH MAPLE CREAM CHEESE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Set a baking rack on a baking sheet and put it in the oven.
• For the glaze: Put the cream cheese in a bowl. Heat the maple syrup in a small saucepan over low heat until it just begins to simmer, then pour over the cream cheese and whisk vigorously until smooth. Set aside and keep warm.
• For the cinnamon swirl: Melt the butter in a small saucepan until light golden brown. Whisk in the muscovado sugar and cinnamon; the sugar may clump and separate from the butter¿don't worry. Whisk in 1/4 cup water and bring to a simmer, whisking until the mixture smoothes out. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the cream and simmer another 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl to cool--the mixture will thicken as it cools--then transfer to a piping bag with a small tip.
• For the pancakes: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, 3 tablespoons melted butter, eggs and vanilla. Add the wet mixture to the dry and whisk until just combined.
• Heat a large nonstick pan or cast-iron griddle over medium heat and brush with some melted butter. Ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and spread to make a 4-inch circle. Ladle in a few more pancakes, being careful not to crowd them.
• When the pancakes just begin to form bubbles on the surface, pipe in the cinnamon swirl filling: Starting at the center of the pancakes, squeeze the filling on top in a swirl (just as you see in a regular cinnamon bun). Continue cooking until larger bubbles begin to appear, the surfaces are somewhat dry and set, and the bottoms are light golden brown, about 2 minutes--adjust the heat as necessary so the bottoms don't brown before the tops set. Flip over and continue cooking until golden brown on the reverse side, about 1 minute longer.
• Transfer the pancakes to the oven to keep warm while you make the rest of the pancakes.
• To serve: Stack 3 pancakes on each plate, drizzle with some of the maple cream cheese glaze, and sprinkle with pecans.

MAPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

MAPLE CREAM CHEESE GLAZE

Steps:

• Beat powdered sugar, butter, cream cheese and 3 tablespoons of the syrup in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed. Beat in enough of the remaining syrup to make a smooth, soft frosting that will drip down side of cake.

MAPLE GLAZE FOR DOUGHNUTS

MAPLE CREAM CHEESE SPREAD

CREAM CHEESE GLAZE

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add sugar and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Add salt, lemon juice, and milk; mix on low speed until smooth. If glaze is too thick to drizzle, add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time.

APPLE SPICE BUNDT CAKE W/ MAPLE CREAM CHEESE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease/flour a bundt pan.
• In a bowl measure out and sift the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt) together. If you don't have a sifter, simply spoon the flour into the measuring cups and don't pack them down once full. Then stir or whisk in the remaining dry ingredients.
• In a large bowl cream 1 cup of the butter and the sugars together until well-combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time.
• To the butter mixture add the vanilla, light sour cream, and applesauce. Mix to combine.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ones (and I do mean gradually, i.e. 1/4-1/3 of the mixture at a time. Your kitchen may need redecorating but doing so by adding all of the flour at once and attacking it with your mixer isn't the way to go.).
• Once all of the dry ingredients are incorporated, fold in the diced apples and the walnuts (if using). The batter will be fairly thick, so don't panic. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
• Place the pan on the lowest rack of your oven and bake for 65-75 minutes.
• When the cake is done, allow it to cool IN THE PAN for half an hour. (A fan placed behind the cooling cake to waft the aroma throughout your home is really nifty, but not a necessity).
• While the cake is cooling make the glaze.
• Whip the cream cheese and remaining 1 tablespoon of the butter until well-combined and fluffy.
• Mix in the maple extract. Beat in the powdered sugar (again, gradually!) until all of it is well incorporated. Add the milk, in increments, until the mixture has reached a "glaze-like" consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
• Enjoy!
