Method
 

Prep and whip
  1. Blot the pumpkin puree very dry between paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Beat the softened butter with an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes until very light and fluffy, scraping the sides once if needed.
  3. Add the blotted pumpkin puree, honey, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
  4. Beat for 2-3 more minutes until completely incorporated and fluffy, with no streaks remaining.
Serve and store
  1. Transfer the whipped butter to a serving bowl and drizzle with honey, then dust with cinnamon.
  2. Refrigerate leftovers and bring to room temperature before serving to restore a spreadable texture.

Notes

Pro tip: blotting the pumpkin puree dry is key for a thick, spoonable, whipped texture that doesn’t loosen in the fridge. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; it’s not ideal for freezing because the texture can turn grainy. Dietary swap: use honey alternative (like maple syrup) for a similar sweetness profile.
