½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

Tips:

  • Make sure your pumpkin puree is smooth and free of lumps. For the best results, use fresh pumpkin puree that you've made yourself. You can also use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a cupcake scoop or ice cream scoop to evenly distribute the batter among the cupcake liners. This will help to ensure that all of the cupcakes are the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake them, or they will become dry and crumbly.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Emeril's pumpkin spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting are a delicious and festive fall treat. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just enjoying at home. With their moist and flavorful pumpkin cake and creamy, tangy cream cheese frosting, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
