Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened

- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups powdered sugar
For the Mocha Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions
To make the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting:
- Beat butter and cream cheese until smooth with a hand mixer, then mix in pumpkin puree. Mix in spice and salt, then slowly add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, until the mixture is smooth.
- Chill at least 30 minutes before frosting. The frosting is not stiff, so it’s best as a filling or flat cupcake frosting. Store in refrigerator.
To make the Mocha Frosting:
- Beat butter until smooth, then add salt and powdered sugar. Mix until crumbly. Add espresso powder and vanilla and mix (mixture will still be crumbly) then add 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream and beat until smooth, adding more cream as needed for desired consistency.
- Frost as directed by recipe. Store in refrigerator but serve room temperature.
To make cookie sandwiches:
- Pipe frosting between Walkers Chocolate Chip Gluten-Free Shortbread Cookies for an easy dessert!
