Cup of Yum
Notes
- Cream cheese that has been softened to room temperature will be easier to blend. You can blast it in the microwave at 50% power for about 15 seconds until softened.
- This recipe calls for pumpkin puree - which is not the same as pumpkin pie filling. Make sure you grab pure pumpkin!
- When talking maple syrup - I'm talking about pure maple (not pancake syrup). Real maple syrup has a lot of flavor. If you don't have it, just use honey, or double up on the brown sugar.
- Substitutions/Additions
- You could use honey in place of the maple syrup.
- You can use full fat, reduced fat or fat free cream cheese. We're going to hook it up with flavor anyway, but if you need to cut calories - that's how I'd do it!
- After schmearing, add some chocolate chips to your bagel for a deliciously sweet treat!
- Storing pumpkin cream cheese
- Keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for about 5 days. This is not a good recipe to freeze!
