How to make cream cheese frosting?
For this pumpkin bread I used leftover cream cheese frosting from my pumpkin cupcakes- and it was amazing.
You can always cut the recipe in half and use that. Or simply mix together some powdered sugar and milk until you get a frosting/glaze and use that.
Want more of a swirl with your cream cheese?
Double the cream cheese filling recipe then layer the batter, cream cheese, batter, cream cheese multiple times, ending with batter on top. Then take a knife and swirl it throughout. Bake like normal.
How do you know when pumpkin bread is done?
The edges of the bread will start to come away from the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean, with only a few crumbs sticking to it.
Should you refrigerate pumpkin bread?
Yes, especially with the cream cheese filling! Store in a Ziploc bag or another airtight container and refrigerate. This will help keep it moist and stay good.
It will last 5-6 days in the refrigerator.
How to keep pumpkin bread moist:
In addition to refrigerating, it’s important to keep as much air away from the bread. You can wrap it in plastic wrap and then place in a Ziploc bag for optimal result, but I’ve had great luck with only using a Ziploc bag if you want to try just that.
