Recipe for Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Frosting
- 8 ounces / 220g full fat cream cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups / 240g powdered sugar
- 1.5 teaspoon pumpkin spice OR 2 tsp cinnamon
Helpful NOTES:
- I prefer not to use butter in this frosting, however, you can add about 30g butter to this recipe and it will work well.
- Use full-fat cream cheese.
Method:
- This is as easy as it gets!
- Add the cream cheese to a mixing bowl and beat properly until fluffy
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix it until completely combined
- Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The frosting will last as long as your cream cheese would last. I would use it within a week however.
