We like to serve this with a cream cheese maple frosting.

This is my recipe for the maple cream cheese frosting is

8 oz of cream cheese, softened
4 Tablespoons butter softened
1/4 cup maple syrup
enough powdered sugar to get the consistency you wish. I used maybe 1/4 cup today.

Cream the cheese and butter together, add the other ingredients and mix with electric mixer until smooth
