In the past few years, I have shared some really great pumpkin recipes with all of you. Many of them are recipes that I make year after year. My family has been anxious for me to make our No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake and also my Pumpkin Lush recipe. I plan to make them in the coming weeks but I was anxious to make some cookies or cake to enjoy for our evening desserts. I could not decide if I should make pumpkin inspired cookies, a cake, or even some brownies.

Since I had yet to decide, I whipped up this Homemade Buttercream Pumpkin Frosting because I knew it would be perfect to top whichever dessert I decided to make. I considered making it a Pumpkin Cream Cheese frosting but, my family always prefers a buttercream. If you are doing fall baking, you will want to consider making it too. It is so easy and uses 4 simple ingredients. Grab some Pumpkin puree, confectioners sugar (powdered sugar), butter, and some pumpkin spice. This Homemade Pumpkin Buttercream Frosting will top a cake, or about 18-24 cupcakes or cookies. I know it will be the best frosting for my Thanksgiving and holiday desserts.

I did not use fresh pumpkin but I am sure it would be great if you have it on hand. You can purchase Pumpkin Pie Spice at most grocery stores or you can make Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice.
