•    1  Tsp. Vanilla

Whip together until smooth. Next, you will need a whole can of cranberry sauce.

To assemble, carefully slice pumpkin bread into 3 layers.  Alternate bread, cream cheese mixture, cranberry. Repeat, ending with bread. Dust confectionary sugar on top, chill, and enjoy!

This is One Awesome App! Proscuitto wrapped pears with a honey creme fraiche!
