How to Make Pumpkin Cream Cheese

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces (227g) cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup (120ml) pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Beat all ingredients with an electric mixer on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cream cheese to fully chill. This will enhance the texture and taste.
  5. Spread generously on toasted sesame bagels, croissants, or your favorite bread for a delicious fall treat!
