Pumpkin Cheesecake Frosting
original Joelen recipe

1/4 cup unsalted butter
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
2-3 tablespoons pumpkin pie filling
4-6 cups confectioners or powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons half & half

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until fluffy; add the pumpkin pie filling and beat until fully incorporated.

Slowly add confectioners or powdered sugar into the bowl, 1/2 cup at a time and beating after each addition. Continue adding the sugar until you have a thick frosting of your preferred consistency. Stir in the half & half until incorporated.

If the frosting becomes too thick, add another tablespoon or more of half & half to thin out.
