How to Make Maple Cream

Step 1 : Simmer the maple syrup. Pour it into a pot and simmer until it reaches 235 F. Use a thermometer to check the temperature so make sure you don't overcook the syrup.

Be sure to watch the pot the entire time because the syrup can heat fast and will bubble over quickly.

Step 2 : Cool the syrup. Once the syrup reaches 235 F immediately transfer it to a large ice bath to allow it to cool to 100 F. This can take 5 - 10 minutes.

Step 3 : Whisk the syrup until creamy. Pour the syrup into a stand mixer with the whisk attachment and start mixing on low speed. Gradually increase the speed to medium high and allow the mixer to whisk the syrup until it reaches a creamy color and thick consistency. This can take at least 20 minutes.
