Pumpkin bread with cream cheese filling

There’s something about this season that makes me crave pumpkin anything. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice coffee, pumpkin cookies… Literally, anything you can think about that’s pumpkin-flavored is high on my list when fall comes around. So when I was thinking about a pumpkin dessert to make, I decided to make the most delicious one. A pumpkin cream cheese bread recipe that was so good it became a staple year-round!

Best of all? Its super quick and simple to make. And please, make the cream cheese icing infused with orange zest, trust me when I say it makes the whole recipe glow! It’s tender, moist, dense, buttery and packed with spices and the perfect amount of pumpkin! Basically, it’s the best quick bread recipe you’ll find! Period!

And the cheesecake filling? Oh my gosh, let’s please talk about that cream cheese filling for a hot second because its totally mind-blowing! Its creamy, rich, and it compliments perfectly the tender pumpkin bread.

Wonder what kind of glaze to make for a pumpkin cream cheese loaf? Since we were in the quest for the perfect, most decadent pumpkin recipe I also went ahead and made a cream cheese glaze. You can definitely skip the glaze if it’s not your thing or if you want to keep this recipe shorter, easier and simpler. However, it really makes the whole recipe glow!

I went with an orange glaze to balance the richness of the pumpkin cream cheese bread. To me orange and cream cheese make a match from heaven! When making recipes that are rich and decadent a good citrus glaze is better. Bonus points if you add some ginger to it. The ginger balances buttery desserts like this pumpkin cheesecake bread!

Can you make this pumpkin cream cheese bread ahead of time? Totally! This recipe is better served the next day. Actually, almost all quick-breads and loaves are better the day after baking. After they have some time to set.

This pumpkin cream cheese bread is also freezer-friendly and that’s a total win in my book! Cover it – without the glaze – with plastic wrap and freeze it. To thaw just let it come to room temperature on your kitchen counter and glaze right before serving.
