- 3/4 cup shortening
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup milk
- 4 - 5 cups powder sugar
Cream together butter and shortening until well combined. (about 2-3 minutes)
Add pumpkin puree and cinnamon and blend for 30 seconds.
Start adding powder sugar, one cup at a time, until reach desired consistency and taste. (Yes, that means you need to be sampling it as you go. Lick that spoon girl!)
Add milk in when you need too, probably after second cup of powder sugar.
Add a little at first and then more as needed.
