King Cake Bites
From: Stephanie @ www.plainchicken.com/
No Mardi Gras celebration is complete without King Cake. In the simplest of terms, King Cake is basically a cinnamon roll. It is a sweet dough with cinnamon and sometimes a filling that is topped with icing and colored sugars. I have a couple of simple King Cake recipes on the blog. This year I went for a bite sized treat with these King Cake Bites.
I took some crescent rolls, sprinkled them with cinnamon, filled them with a yummy sweet cream cheese filling and baked them. I finished them off with some frosting and sugar on top.
One word - AMAZING! We could not stop eating these. They really do taste like little King Cake bites. These would be great for a class party, Fat Tuesday breakfast or just anytime for a treat. We ate these for dessert and breakfast the next day. We warmed them in the microwave for about 5 seconds. Seriously good!
Ingredients:
King Cake Bites
1 (8oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp cinnamon
2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp milk
yellow, green, purple sugar
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Beat cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar and lemon juice with mixer until well blended.
Separate dough into 8 rectangles; seal seams.
Sprinkle each rectangle with approximately 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Spread cream cheese mixture down middle of each rectangle.
Fold each rectangle lengthwise into thirds to enclose filling (bring long edges up to cover cream cheese); cut each into 4 squares.
Place, seam-sides down, on baking sheet.
Bake 13 to 15 min. or until golden brown.
Cool slightly.
Drizzle with glaze and sprinkle with colored sugar.
