Spiced Pumpkin Cream Cheese


When I walk into a grocery store when it's Fall and I see pumpkin cream cheese...
my heart goes pitter patter. It wasn't until now that I decided to take matters in
my own hands and make my own this way I can make it all year round.
Sounds good to me. It is so easy and incredibly good. It has a whipped texture
that I love. Buy some of your favorite bagels and pour a cup of coffee and enjoy.

Spiced Pumpkin Cream Cheese

1 (8oz) package cream cheese (room temperature)
1/2 cup pumpkin pie mix
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
a dash of ginger and cloves
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1) With an electric mixer beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until -
whipped. Add your spices and vanilla. Serve with bagels.

    What a scrumptious idea! I've been buying the store-bought kind, but this sounds even more divine. I spread a very large schmear of this on banana muffins. Delish!

    I didn't even know this was a THING until I saw it in Target the other day. And as a lover of all things pumpkin, I actually yelped in the store. It was embarrassing. This is not good news for my pants. They're not going to fit.

    Well, I shouldn't even go there telling you how wonderfully fantastic delicious this looks....but, I WILL. VAL! Amazing. And how funky that as rare as I "cook" that I happen to have most of these ingredients in my fridge right now. I am totally making this Sunday morning with coffee. I don't know if I should love you or hate you?? :) No, I adore you!!! It's on Friday but, I am now looking forward to Sunday already! I love each and every one of your post. Can you do , like, two a day?? xo

    We had a teacher breakfast at school the other day and someone brought in store bought pumpkin cream cheese. I was excited to try it....but it was just okay. I bet yours is amazing! Now I'm wishing I had a bagel and some of your pumpkin cream cheese right now!

    This sounds lovely! However I'm going to refrain from making it until I have company over, because I will be in danger of eating it by the bowl ;)
