Pumpkin–Cream Cheese Frosting
Adding a bit of pumpkin purée, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a basic cream cheese frosting gives it holiday appeal. It’s also easy to make: Just beat butter and cream cheese together in a mixer, then add powdered sugar and spices, and throw in the pumpkin at the end. Use it to frost pumpkin cupcakes, carrot cake, or ginger cake.
Ingredients
- 4 Cup powdered sugar sifted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 12 ounce cream cheese at room temperature
- 8 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
