Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting
  1. Start by taking your softened unsalted butter and placing it in a mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add in half of your pumpkin flavored cream cheese to the butter, continuing to mix until fully incorporated and creamy. Ensure there are no lumps.
  3. Add the remaining pumpkin cream cheese, pure vanilla extract, and fine sea salt. Mix on low speed for 1-2 minutes until blended.
  4. Add powdered sugar starting with 2 cups and blend on low until fully incorporated. Increase speed and mix for another 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  5. Check consistency; add more powdered sugar if it's too loose, mixing for 30 seconds after each addition until creamy.
  6. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.
