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!
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.
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.
