Make the spread
  1. Beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the pumpkin puree, confectioners' sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt, then beat until smooth and evenly combined, about 1 minute.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the spread firm and the flavors meld.
