Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread Recipe

This recipe is broken down into two parts, the bread, and the icing. The bread is filled with staple ingredients and tons of flavoring spices while the icing is sweet and simple. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Cream Cheese – softened. This adds creamy, tangy goodness to the rich pumpkin flavor.
  • Brown Sugar – to sweeten and to add a bit of that molasses flavor.
  • Pumpkin – this wouldn’t be pumpkin bread without pumpkin.
  • Vanilla, Cinnamon, Nutmeg – to flavor!
  • Pillsbury Biscuits – be warned that I use canned biscuits because I wasn’t feeling like making my own dough from scratch. If you are feeling up to it, go for it.
  • Salted Butter – cold! And, I didn’t feel like melting the butter then dipping each biscuit piece into it either, so I just threw a few pats of cold butter over top the whole thing. A rebel, I am.
  • Granulated Sugar and Cinnamon – this is the cinnamon sugar that tops the whole loaf before baking.
  • Powdered Sugar, Vanilla and Milk – three simple ingredients to make a heavenly icing.

How to Make Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a lightly colored loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, stir cream cheese, brown sugar, pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg together until smooth and creamy. Scrape sides and mix again briefly.
  3. Pop open can of biscuits and divide each biscuit in half so you have 16 thin circles. Spread pumpkin cream cheese mixture onto one side of one circle and top with another circle. Spread the top of the biscuit with more pumpkin cream cheese spread and continue alternating biscuit round with pumpkin cream cheese spread until all 16 biscuit circles have been stacked together. Gentle turn on its side and place it into a prepared loaf pan.
  4. Top with 4 parts of butter and then sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over top everything.
  5. Bake 25-35 minutes or until the center is completely cooked. The only thing you need to be careful of is ensuring the middle is baked. Just like a cake, you need to check the center…meaning: poke around a little and spread a few middle pieces apart to double-check. Remove from oven and cool 10-15 minutes before removing from pan.
  6. For the icing, stir powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk together to create a glaze. Add more milk for a thinner glaze. Add more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze. Drizzle over top pumpkin cream cheese bread and serve warm.

    Can this pumpkin cream cheese pull apart bread recipe be assembled at night, refrigerated and baked in the morning? I would love to do it ahead of time for a worry free morning. Any suggestions?

    I used the honey butter Grands, & instead of cinnamon, used pumpkin spice . Added the pumpkin spice to my frosting mixture too. Nummy. Yes, best warm and be sure to bake the center !!
