Ingredients:

  • 1 8 oz. Cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup Pumpkin Purée
  • 1/4 tsp. Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp. Pumpkin Spice
  • 1 Cinnamon to garnish and pumpkin candy ( optional )

Instructions:

  • First, remove the icing and place into a large mixing bowl. Don’t worry if it has sprinkles, they dissolve or lose most of the color. Leave your cream cheese out to room temp.
  • Add your pumpkin purée, cream cheese, nutmeg and pumpkin spice and whip for 1 minute on fast, make sure you whip it enough to where its soft in appearance with that “butter cream” look.
  • After, I place the frosting in the fridge for 3-5 minutes to harden and then lightly fold with a spatula when removed.
  • Let’s frost! Scoop the frosting into a sandwich bag or decorative bag ( you can buy anywhere ) and start from the outside of the cupcake and work your way to the center.
  • After frosting each cupcake, sprinkle cinnamon and top off with the little pumpkin.

Notes:

Wahoo! These Fall inspired cupcakes are so fun to take to a party, when you’re hosting, for the kids, or girls night!
