I love cream cheese frosting. It’s the perfect topping for any kind of pumpkin dessert!

I made this batch to go with my Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Cake.

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting

Like many pumpkin spice desserts and drinks, this frosting doesn’t contain any actual pumpkin.
Instead, it’s flavored with my homemade blend of . . . .

• nutmeg
• cinnamon
• ginger
• allspice
• cloves

Just beat together some cream cheese and butter, add powdered sugar, vanilla and the spice mix.
You’ll have an impressive fall frosting ready in minutes!

The only challenging part is resisting the urge to eat it all with a spoon.
If you’re obsessed with pumpkin spice, this is going to be your new favorite frosting recipe!

It’s amazing on pumpkin cakes, pumpkin cupcakes and pumpkin breads, of course.
