I used this icing with the Pumpkin Gingerbread recipe (on this site) and it was the perfect match! I did make a couple changes. First, I halved the recipe. Next, I added an extra Tbs of vanilla (as others have suggested). This first attempt turned out very cream cheesy (but good). The next time I made it, I halved everything EXCEPT for the confectioners sugar (used 2 Cups). This time, it was the perfect blend of cream cheese to sweetness. Also, if you're looking for the great taste, but are trying to save a few calories, you can safely use 1/3 fat Philly Cream Cheese with absolutely NO impact on the final product. My family thought it was the full fat fare. :-) Finally, halving the recipe with the extra cup of conf sugar yielded enough frosting to cover two 9x5 pumpkin loaves.
