K's Pie Spice Cream Cheese Frosting

This frosting was created specifically to go with "K's Famous Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes" but would also be great with any fall themed/flavored cake or cupcake. This recipe will frost 24 cupcakes GENEROUSLY, which is how I like it, but if you like less frosting, this will cover about 36.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 24
• Yields: 6 Cups

Ingredients

• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
• 6 -7  cups confectioners' sugar
• 2  teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1⁄2 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

Directions

1. Beat the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer in a bowl until smooth. (The mixture should have a consistent, very pale yellow color, and should not have any lumps.).
2. Add the vanilla extract and pie spice.
3. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, until incorporated. (Mix in the first 6 cups, then check the consistency. You can add up to another cup, depending on how stiff you like your frosting). Beat until fluffy.
