Tweet Tweet If you’re just joining me for my Trader Joe’s series, you’re in for a treat! Every week through the end of 2013, I’m creating a new recipe that features Trader Joe’s ingredients.
I flavored the dough with the pumpkin and added cardamom. I love the warmth of cardamom and it is a great partner with pumpkin. The filling was simple, toasted pecans, sugar and melted butter. The dough is only lightly sweetened so a filling with sugar is perfect for this recipe. The cream cheese icing was really the star of this bread. We love maple. We love bourbon. And the two together with cream cheese and a little sugar is … heavenly.
