Ingredients
Frosting Ingredients
- 1 cup softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup salted softened butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice mix
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and salted softened butter together using an electric mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Sugar and Spice: Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar into the cream cheese and butter mixture, adding it in portions to avoid a powdered sugar cloud. Mix on low speed initially to combine, then increase to medium speed. Add 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice mix and continue to beat the frosting until it becomes fluffy, creamy, and well blended.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for best mixing results and smooth texture.
- If frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or cream to thin it slightly.
- Adjust the amount of pumpkin spice to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder spice flavor.
- This frosting pairs wonderfully with carrot cake, spice cake, and pumpkin-flavored desserts.
- Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring it back to room temperature and beat slightly before using.
