Pumpkin Spice Buttercream Frosting
This buttercream frosting is perfect for all of your fall cupcakes, cakes and other desserts. It's rich, creamy, and flavored with fall spices.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup room temperature salted butter
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice seasoning
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream or milk
Instructions
- Using an electric mixer, beat together butter, shortening and vanilla until combined. Add the pumpkin puree and mix to combine.
- Slowly blend in the sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add the heavy cream (or milk) and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy. You may need to add more sugar or milk until you find the right consistency.
- If you are not going to use the frosting right away, keep it covered until you are ready to use it.
