Since I am well-stocked up on pumpkin, I decided it was time to try another pumpkin recipe. As I searched for a good one to try, this recipe caught my eye at About.com…it stood out to me because it has cream cheese in it and everything I make that includes cream cheese as an ingredient always seems to turn out good! I made a few little changes to the recipe and added a cinnamon glaze. It’s nice and moist, and the cream cheese filling adds a special touch. This recipe makes two 8 x 4-inch loaves, so you can make one to eat now and one to save in the freezer for later. Or give one to a friend or neighbor…they would probably be delighted to receive one!

This looks great. If I freeze it, will all the glaze come off?
No, it shouldn’t come off. Just make sure the glaze is set before you put it in the freezer. Another option is to make the loaf and freeze it, then when you’re ready to serve it, add the glaze then.
