Easy King Cake Recipe for Mardi Gras
No Mardi Gras celebration is complete without a King Cake. In the simplest of terms, King Cake is a giant cinnamon roll. It is a sweet dough with cinnamon and sometimes a cream cheese and pecan filling that is topped with icing and colored sugars. We are celebrating Mardi Gras at home this year with the Cajun Dirty Rice Casserole I shared yesterday and these Easy King Cake Rolls. I can not wait!
How to Make Easy King Cake Rolls
As the name says, these Easy King Cake Rolls are easy to make! Start with a can of refrigerated french bread dough. Unroll the dough. Combine some softened cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the french bread dough. Sprinkle the cream cheese with some chopped pecans. Roll up the dough and slice. Place the rolls in a cake pan and bake. Top the baked rolls with a quick powdered sugar and milk glaze and sprinkle with colored sugar.
