Maple Cream Spread Smooth (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 480 ml pure maple syrup

# Instructions:

01 - Pour maple syrup into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and heat over medium heat, monitoring closely to prevent overflow. Cook until the syrup reaches 113°C (235°F), approximately 5 minutes.
02 - Remove the pot from heat and immediately place it into an ice bath. Allow the syrup to cool undisturbed to 38°C (100°F), about 5 minutes.
03 - Transfer the cooled syrup to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Mix on low speed, gradually increasing to medium-high, and continue whisking for at least 20 minutes until the mixture turns a pale cream colour and thickens to a spreadable consistency.
04 - Spoon the maple cream into a sterilized jar with a tight-fitting lid. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to six months.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the syrup does not exceed the recommended temperature, as overcooking will affect texture and flavor.
