This Maple Icing recipe is a simple and delicious glaze that combines the sweetness of powdered sugar with the rich flavor of pure maple syrup and a hint of cinnamon. Creamy melted butter and vanilla extract add depth and smoothness, making it perfect for drizzling over cakes, cupcakes, or pastries.

Ingredients

Maple Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Measure out all the ingredients precisely to ensure the perfect balance of flavors in your maple icing.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the powdered sugar, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. Whisk these together to evenly distribute the cinnamon and salt throughout the sugar.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spoon or whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Adjust Consistency: If the icing is too thick to drizzle or spread easily, you can add a small amount of maple syrup or a teaspoon of milk to thin it out. If too thin, add a little more powdered sugar to thicken.
  5. Use Immediately: Drizzle or spread the maple icing over your cooled cakes, cupcakes, or pastries and allow it to set. The icing will harden slightly as it rests.

Notes

  • This icing is best used fresh as the maple syrup can cause it to soften over time.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute melted butter with coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative.
  • The cinnamon is optional but adds a warm spice that complements the maple flavor beautifully.
  • Store any leftover icing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, stir before use.
