3 Minute Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting

Skip the store-bought tub of cream cheese frosting and make this decadent, cinnamon-spiced Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting. It comes together in 3 minutes flat and is excellent paired with cozy fall-flavored goodies, like pumpkin cupcakes, chocolate cake, apple bundt cake, and so much more!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (113.5 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (227 g) cream cheese, or 8 oz, softened
  • 3 cups (360 g) confectioners sugar
  • 1/3 cup (81.67 g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp (1 tsp) ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Cream cheese, powdered sugar, and pumpkin puree in a mixing bowl.
    Combine the 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 cup softened cream cheese, 3 cups of powdered sugar, 1/3rd cup of pumpkin puree, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon in the bowl of a hand or stand mixer. Mix on low until the frosting forms about 30 seconds. Switch to medium for 1 min to get rid of any lumps.
  • A chocolate cake frosted with pumpkin cream cheese frosting.
    Spread the frosting all over the cooled cake. Garnish with more cinnamon and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

This frosting makes enough to frost 12 cupcakes or frost and fill a 2 layer 8" chocolate cake.
If the frosting is too thin, add 1/3 cup more powdered sugar.
