Pour the maple syrup into a saucepan and place it over medium heat. Attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan and heat the syrup to 235°F. Make sure not to stir the syrup as it heats!
Once the syrup reaches 235°F, remove the pan from the heat and carefully place it in an ice bath to cool.
Once the syrup reaches 100°F, remove it from the ice bath and start beating it with an electric mixer on low. Continue beating until the syrup thickens and becomes creamy and opaque. This may take around 10-20 minutes.
Transfer the maple cream into a jar or container and store in the fridge. The maple cream will thicken more as it cools.
Notes
Maple cream will last in the fridge for up to one month.
