Maple (or other) Flavor Filling & Icing
I ended up cobbling together elements of different recipes as ingredients I had been expecting to find in the pantry weren’t there. Despite all the fats it isn’t greasy. Just a light, smooth mouthfeel. It’s not quite as sweet as I’d expected, but still pretty sweet. It does crust, and probably should be refrigerated. On my maple cake it tasted like room temperature maple nut ice cream.

I'm gonna try this with my next cake! Wish me luck! I think I'm going to try almond extract!
I made this for a maple cake and it made the cake, if you know what I mean. I used Half n Half and it turned out so smooth. Absolutely delicious! I'm going try this recipe with other flavors.
