Instructions

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 3–5 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens to a paste and darkens slightly. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool completely.
- Add 113 g softened butter or cream cheese (or half of each — your choice!) to the cooled pumpkin paste. Whisk by hand, use an immersion blender with the whisk attachment, or beat with a hand mixer until smooth and uniform in color.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge; let it soften slightly before serving, if needed.
