Vegan Pumpkin Spice Buttercream Frosting
Fluffy, buttery pumpkin spice frosting made with just 4 ingredients in 5 minutes! The perfect topping for all your pumpkin-y fall treats — cookies, cakes, and more!
Servings 10 (2-Tbsp servings)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup softened vegan butter (we like Miyoko's // dairy butter would work too if not vegan/dairy-free)
- 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted if clumpy (ensure organic for vegan-friendly)
- 2 Tbsp pumpkin purée
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 pinch sea salt (optional // omit if using salted butter)
Instructions
- With an electric mixer in a medium bowl, mix together the softened vegan butter and sifted powdered sugar until smooth, light, and fluffy.
- Add the pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, and salt (optional) and beat again until fully incorporated.
- Serve on top of cupcakes, spice cakes, pumpkin bread, cookies, and more! If using immediately, you can leave the frosting at room temperature for up to 1 hour. Or, for later use, place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator so it doesn’t melt. It will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator or 1 month in the freezer.
- When ready to use, let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes and give it a good stir before frosting your cake/cupcakes.
