Ingredients

For the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 2 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Beat butter and cream cheese until smooth with a hand mixer, then mix in pumpkin puree. Mix in spice and salt, then slowly add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, until the mixture is smooth.
  • Chill at least 30 minutes before frosting. The frosting is not stiff, so it’s best as a filling or flat cupcake frosting. Store in refrigerator.
  • Frost as directed by recipe. Store in refrigerator but serve room temperature.
