Ingredients
  

For the Frosting
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Well softened
  • 8 oz Pumpkin Flavored Cream Cheese Can substitute with plain cream cheese and pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Pure vanilla recommended
  • 1 pinch Fine Sea Salt Consider omitting if using salted butter
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar Adjust for desired consistency

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Beat the unsalted butter in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Incorporate half of the pumpkin flavored cream cheese into the butter and mix until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the remaining cream cheese, vanilla extract, and fine sea salt, mixing until well combined and silky, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gradually add powdered sugar, starting at low speed, then increase to medium, mixing until no lumps remain.
  5. Check the consistency; if too loose, add additional powdered sugar gradually, mixing thoroughly to achieve a thick yet spreadable texture.
  6. Chill the frosting in an airtight container for at least 30 minutes before use.
