What Is the Difference Between Maple Cream and Maple Butter?

What Is Maple Cream?

Maple cream is a thick, smooth spread that is similar in texture to peanut butter or Nutella. It is made by heating and stirring pure maple syrup and then cooled back down until it thickens and becomes creamy. The result is a spread that is sweet, rich, and deliciously decadent.

What Is Maple Butter?

Maple butter is a bit different. You can think of maple butter as mainly butter with maple syrup added. It has the flavor of maple syrup, but is mostly butter.

What Is The Difference Between The Two?

The main difference between the two is the texture. Maple cream is thicker and more of a spreadable paste, while maple butter is lighter and more airy. Both spreads are delicious on toast, pancakes, waffles, or biscuits and can elevate any breakfast dish as well as being excellent ingredients in recipe mixes.

In terms of taste, both spreads are rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious, with a distinct maple syrup flavor. However, the texture of each spread may appeal to different tastes and recipe needs. They can be used interchangeably, though it is important to remember that they will have slightly different textures and consistency.
