Cream Cheese Icing is much easier to make than you may have thought. I love this recipe on carrot, pumpkin or apple muffins, cupcakes or cakes! If you love cream cheese you will love this smooth icing with a sweet buttery smooth cream cheese taste.

Here I am using cream cheese icing to fill pumpkin whoopie pies
- I swirl the icing on with a piping bag, but you can use a spoon to put a dollop.
