Pumpkin Cream Cupcakes

“Mmm” really should be part of the title for this super-moist cake, thanks to the pudding and the cream cheese baked right inside. Make that double "mmm."

This recipe was awesome. Next time I will add a little bit more sugar to the cream cheese and dust the top with powdered sugar.

We all loved these cupcakes, they are the most moist cupcake you will ever eat. They are good plain, with the cool whip & nutmeg sprinkles or with homemade vanilla ice cream. Delicious! I will be making these over and over!

Wow these were so moist and delicious, especially for breakfast! I recommend the cool whip and nutmeg for the topping as Kraft suggested, that definitely adds a little something to these guys.

This recipe was exceptional. I am not a big fan of pumpkin and found these to be phenomenal. Even my hubby who is extra picky enjoyed these and I look forward to making these again in the near future.

These cupcakes were so moist and wonderful! I got rave reviews on them and was asked for the recipe several times. The cool whip and nutmeg frosting really completes the recipe, it is just so necessary!! Will definitely be using this recipe again!

Love, love, love them!! I made them to take camping and my entire family, including my finicky 8 yr old, loved them. I added cream cheese icing to them because my kids don't think they're cupcakes without icing. Other than that, I didn't change a thing and they were perfect!
