Ingredients
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and milk, then continue to beat until the icing reaches a spreadable consistency.
If the icing is too thick, add a little more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
Spread the icing evenly over cooled pumpkin bread before serving.
