The best, quick and easy maple frosting recipe, homemade with 4 simple ingredients. rich, fluffy, smooth, creamy, stable, perfect for piping or spreading on fall desserts. i love maple frosting for donuts but obviously it has a thin glaze-like consistency that cannot be used on cakes and cupcakes. i used those flavors to create today's frosting recipe. it's perfect for thanksgiving desserts and i am so happy to add it to my ever-growing collection of frosting and fillings. first, a quick note: this is not a maple cream cheese frosting. the cream cheese makes the icing too tangy and it.
