Making homemade cream cheese icing is not that difficult. It’s a simple process and this cinnamon version is perfect for topping all your favorite fall recipes. If you need a quick frosting recipe that everyone will love, give this cinnamon cream cheese frosting a try.

It goes great with Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins, Gluten Free Pumpkin Cheesecake, and even Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread Recipe.

It’s fall, my favorite season of the year, and one of my favorite activities of the season is baking. I just love the flavors and smells that come with this season–cinnamon, apples, pumpkin, maple, ginger–yummmm. 

And while I enjoy baking my tried-and-true recipes each year (like whole wheat pumpkin chocolate chip mini muffins for my kids’ lunchbox treats), it’s nice to try something new once in a while.

Let’s add a little zip to the usual fall baking–with cream cheese! This Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting is ah-mazing! I’ve always liked cream cheese frosting, but the addition of cinnamon takes it up another notch!

It’s perfect for topping pumpkin muffins or cupcakes. If you’ve never made frosting before, it’s really not that hard (and it tastes SO much better than store-bought). Give it a try!
