Ingredients

• 1 stick butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Directions

• Place room temperature butter and vegetable shortening in a mixing bowl. Beat them together using an electric mixer until smooth, 1 minute. Add in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Mix using a spatula. Add in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing with a spatula at first so the powered sugar doesn’t puff up everywhere. Once all of the powdered sugar is incorporated, beat the buttercream using an electric mixer, 1-2 minutes or until smooth.
