I love cupcakes. I think they’re in the top 3 of my favorite types of desserts. They are customizable, and are great conduits to different types of icing combinations. Since it’s the fall and Halloween is approaching, I made a roasted pumpkin cream cheese frosting to celebrate. This is a small iteration change from my pumpkin cream cheese spread.
If you're looking for a funky fall-appropriate cupcake topping, give pumpkin cream cheese icing a try!
Process:
Bake chocolate cupcakes per your favorite recipe. Let them cool on the side while you prepare your icing.
Pre-heat your oven to 350F / 175C. Slice the pumpkin in half and scoop out the guts (you can squeeze the seeds out and toast them in butter, brown sugar, and a touch of salt). Slice the outer skin off of the pumpkin and cube it into 1/2 inch pieces. Toss in a bit of vegetable oil and salt lightly.
Roast the pumpkin in the oven for 20-30 minutes until the pieces are soft. Let it cool off for about 5 mins.
Put the cream cheese into a food processor and add the 1 cup of pumpkin and puree. Sprinkle cinnamon to taste and run the food processor again. Add the powdered sugar (to taste).

Top the cupcakes once they are cooled down.
