TODAY I’M SHARING A PUMPKIN MAPLE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING RECIPE! SO DELICIOUS, AND AN AMAZING COMBO OF FALL FLAVORS!
This Pumpkin Maple Buttercream is so flavorful and tastes great on several flavors of cake. I piped mine onto chocolate cupcakes. So yummy!
YOU CAN EVEN TRY IT ON GRAHAM CRACKERS FOR A SWEET SNACK OR AFTER SCHOOL TREAT!
I USED A BLEND OF MARGARINE AND SHORTENING AND BEAT THEM UNTIL CREAMY AND BLENDED. THEN I ADDED SOME PUMPKIN PUREE AND SPICES, AND SLOWLY BEAT IN THE POWDERED SUGAR UNTIL IT WAS FULLY INCORPORATED.
THIS IS JUST A BASIC RECIPE, AND COMPLETELY ADAPTABLE, SO FEEL FREE TO ADJUST IT TO YOUR TASTE. YOU MAY PREFER MORE OR LESS PUMPKIN PIE SPICE. OR PREFER BUTTER IN PLACE OF THE SHORTENING OR PREFER TO USE JUST BUTTER. OR SIMPLY FOLLOW THE RECIPE EXACTLY AS WRITTEN!
*WE HAVE MADE THIS RECIPE WITH ALL BUTTER, INSTEAD OF A MARGARINE AND SHORTENING BLEND, AND IT IS AMAZING! SO FOR THOSE OF YOU OUT THERE THAT ARE NOT A FAN OF MARGARINE OR SHORTENING, REST ASSURED THIS RECIPE WILL STILL TURN OUT GREAT FOR YOU!
YOU WILL FIND THE RECIPE BELOW.
