This Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting is a smooth, creamy, and flavorful topping perfect for fall-inspired cakes, cupcakes, and other baked goods. Combining the rich tang of pumpkin-flavored cream cheese with butter and vanilla, this frosting balances sweetness with a touch of saltiness for an irresistible spread.

Ingredients

Scale

Frosting Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, well softened
  • 8 ounces pumpkin flavored cream cheese (about 1 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 4–5 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Beat the Butter: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter until it becomes smooth and creamy, creating a perfect base for the frosting.
  2. Add Cream Cheese in Two Parts: Add half of the pumpkin flavored cream cheese to the butter and beat until fully incorporated and smooth. Then add the remaining cream cheese along with the vanilla extract and fine sea salt, mixing well to combine all flavors evenly.
  3. Add Powdered Sugar Gradually: Start by adding 2 cups of powdered sugar to the mixture, blending until smooth. Then add 2 more cups and continue mixing until there are no lumps left. Check the frosting’s consistency—if it’s not stiff enough, add additional powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time until the desired thickness is reached.
  4. Store Properly: If you’ve used this frosting on baked goods, be sure to store them in the refrigerator to keep the cream cheese fresh until you’re ready to serve.
  5. Share Your Experience: After trying the recipe, come back and leave your comments or ratings to let others know how delicious this pumpkin cream cheese frosting turned out!

Notes

  • For a thicker frosting, add powdered sugar gradually and check consistency frequently.
  • Keep frosting refrigerated if not using immediately to prevent spoilage.
  • Pumpkin flavored cream cheese can usually be found in specialty or seasonal grocery sections.
  • This frosting pairs beautifully with carrot cake, spice cake, or pumpkin-flavored baked goods.
  • To soften butter quickly, leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes before starting.
