    How to make cream cheese frosting?

    • Combine  butter and cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer and cream until light and fluffy.
    • Mix in the vanilla, heavy cream, and salt and whip on high for a few minutes.
    • Then mix in the powdered sugar one cup at a time- adding more for a stiffer buttercream.

    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.

    I love frosting with a criss cross pattern- it's super cute!

    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 results, but I’ve had great luck with only using a Ziploc bag if you want to try just that.
