In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes; set aside.

In a small saucepan set over medium-high heat, bring the maple syrup to a boil, and cook until it registers 240F on a candy thermometer, about 15 minutes.

Remove from heat.

With the mixer running, slowly pour syrup down the side of the bowl in a slow, steady stream, until completely incorporated, about 1 minute.

Continue beating until bowl is just slightly warm to the touch, 4 to 5 minutes.

Add butter, one piece at a time, until thoroughly incorporated and the frosting is fluffy, about 4 minutes more.
