Pumpkin Spice Latte Buttercream Frosting
Pumpkin Spice Latte Frosting is a simple recipe for a rich and creamy buttercream with espresso, pumpkin and the perfect spice mix.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon espresso coffee powder
- 1 tablespoon International Delight French Vanilla Liquid Creamer
- 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks, room temperature
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground clove
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine espresso powder and creamer. Stir until the espresso powder dissolves. Set aside.
- In a standing mixer fitted with a whisk, cream the butter for 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary. Add pumpkin puree. Mix until combined. Turn the mixer to low and add powdered sugar one cup at a time. Mix until well blended and then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes.
- Add cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt and espresso mixture and continue to beat on medium speed for 1 minute more, adding more creamer as needed until desired consistency is reached.
- Enjoy on your favorite dessert, or with a spoon! We especially love it on our Pumpkin Spice Cake and Easy Chocolate Cake.
Notes
This recipe will fill and frost a 2 layer, 9 inch cake or 24 cupcakes (12 with a stacked swirl).
It is tempting to use a pre-blended pumpkin pie spice. I would avoid that in this recipe, as the allspice would not work very well with the espresso.
