Ingredients
Directions
- Start by placing softened unsalted butter (at room temperature) into a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat it for about 1 minute until it becomes creamy and smooth.
- Add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice to the bowl. Stir them in with a spatula until well combined.
- Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, adding 1 cup at a time. Initially stir with a spatula to keep the sugar from flying everywhere. Once all the sugar is incorporated, switch to an electric mixer and beat for 1–2 minutes until the frosting is smooth.
- Spread or pipe this pumpkin frosting onto your favorite treats, such as pumpkin cupcakes, chocolate cake, vanilla cupcakes, or brownies.
