Creamy Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese recipe is the perfect festive addition to the everyday breakfast! Add it to a toasted bagel or smear on your morning’s toast. Whatever you choose, you’ll get the delicious taste of fall!
Around here, we celebrate bagel Mondays. Which really means, “Mommy didn’t want to go grocery shopping but you have school today, so bagels for lunch.” Whatever works, right?
Our local bagel shop has a specialty cream cheese each week, and last year they had the most amazing pumpkin spice cream cheese. I was obsessed, and then as quickly as it appeared, it was gone!
So I made my own.
Pumpkin Spice cream cheese – the perfect fall breakfast
This stuff is like pumpkin cheesecake heaven, but without the work. The creamy spread is delicious on just about everything. From pancakes to apple muffins to, well, a spoon.
Enjoy it with a coffee filled with my Sugar Free Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer. If you love the unofficial flavor of fall, you’re going to be obsessed with this. And hey, because it’s got an extra dose of vitamins and fiber from the pumpkin puree, it’s basically a health food.
How to make pumpkin spice cream cheese
Making this pumpkin cream cheese is also ridiculously easy, too.
- Cream softened cream cheese until light and fluffy.
- Add in pumpkin and pumpkin spice.
- Add sweetener. I’ve used stevia and brown sugar but my absolute favorite is 1-2 tablespoons of quality maple. Taste and add more if needed.
How to store pumpkin cream cheese
I put mine in an airtight container for up to a week.

I even have canned pumpkin already! It definitely feels like it’s made the switch to fall temperatures around here; it’s so exciting!

Yum! I eat pumpkin baked oatmeal year round so im not judging! 🙂 I can totally make this with vegan cream cheese–this sounds delicious. I love the idea of adding sweetness to make it a dip for apples! I bet it’d be good on toast with some jam!
