UGH, it is just so light and fluffy. The addition of maple syrup in the buttercream actually gives it a slight coffee note. YUM! Recipe is adapted from Chow.

A huge tip to me to making sure your frosting comes out super fluffy is making sure the butter is all the way at room temperature, but not runny. AND, whip it per the directions it will come out perfect every time!

Tried this flavor was good made it exactly as the recipe states but it was just like maple sweet butter. Whipped for 5 minutes. Didn’t become fluffy like frosting. Used store brand unsalted butter. Was at room temperature as well.

I think the recipe should definitely list 3-4 cups powdered sugar not 3/4 cup! I made it as described and used unsweetened pancake maple syrup, it wasn’t runny but it was like pure butter! Added 2.5 more cups of powdered sugar and it turned out perfectly!
