Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread is all the comforts of pumpkin cake, chocolate and cheesecake all rolled into one delicious pound cake.
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread has been a recipe I’ve been wanting to make for quite some time. Last year I made my Cheesecake Filled Pumpkin Bread Bars and my Chocolate Pumpkin Bread, but the delicious cream cheese, pumpkin and chocolate combo of this recipe is just irresistible.
It was the perfect marriage between the two posts and the double ribbon of cream cheese would solve the original reason I didn’t make the Cheesecake Filled Pumpkin Bread Bars into a loaf.
Here’s a video of this pumpkin, chocolate, cream cheese deliciousness:

When the cheesecake is too thick of a layer it makes the slice break in half when you try and handle it! Lizzy is a baking genius. Making two ribbons of the cream cheese makes this slice of Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread perfectly portable.

Hey there, i have a question, the cake turned out absolutely delicious!! but when i was layering the cream cheese it was not easy for me to put the wet layer of the cream chess on the wet pumpkin batter. do you have tips on that step
If the cream cheese is too thick to spoon on easily, I would recommend microwaving for about 10 seconds to help melt it a bit and make it easier to spoon on the layer.
hey there, vanilla is listed twice, but not mentioned twice in the instructions. Can you please advise if this is a misprint or where the extra 2 teaspoons belong? Thank you!
I’m so sorry this comment got stuck in the spam filter and I just came across it. I know your meal is long gone now. I adjusted the steps of the recipe to highlight it better, that second vanilla is for the cream cheese filling.
Does this recipe need to be refrigerated due to cream cheese ingredient?
Yes 🙂
I have a question for you. Could this Bev made into a roll instead of loaves?
I’m not sure how it would work but if you’re looking for rolls, I would recommend checking out https://sallysbakingaddiction.com . Her recipes are fantastic!
There’s not enough pumpkin mix for the last layer
It sounds like you may have made your other layer too big. I would try and even them out more before layering them in the pan, even pouring them in separate bowls before so you know that you’re layering with the correct amount can help. Hope this helps for next time.
No because you said “half of pumpkin batter” three times. It doesn’t make sense.
In step 6, you’re using half of the pumpkin batter. In step 8, it states to use half of the remaining pumpkin batter for that layer and then using the rest of it in step 10. Hope this clears up any confusion.
