How to Make Pumpkin Spice Frosting
1. Using a hand-held or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter together until light and fluffy.

3. Lastly, beat in the pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract until well combined.
What if I Don’t Have Pumpkin Pie Spice?
You can make your own pumpkin pie spice by mixing 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp ground ginger, ¼ tsp ground nutmeg, ⅛ tsp ground allspice, and ⅛ tsp ground cloves. If you don’t have all these spices either, use the ones on the list that you do have. They are all warm, delicious, fall-inspired spices!

Can I Make Pumpkin Spice Frosting Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! You can make this frosting 3-4 ahead of time, place it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge. It may get a bit harder when cold, so before piping it or spreading it over your baked goods, let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes or until soft.
