RECIPE: 4 Ingredient Cream Cheese Icing

| Filed Under: Dessert, Recipes

One thing I love about fall is all the pumpkin goodies that come out of hiding. I about bought each and every pumpkin thing I saw at Trader Joe’s the other day. Oh! They get me every year. And don’t get me started on all those yummy pumpkin recipes. I start making them in as soon as there is a slight chill in the air. And, of course when you make pumpkin goodies you are going to need to make some cream cheese icing to go with them, of course. So here is my favorite 4 Ingredient Cream Cheese icing just for you, enjoy!
