"Despite the word "cake" being in the name, king cake is more akin to a pastry than anything else, with some even likening the texture to a sweet brioche. So, naturally, such a dessert might translate well into another type of bready dessert - and that certainly proves itself to be true in this Mardi Gras king cake-inspired bread pudding recipe, brought to us by developer Katie Rosenhouse."
"One such version is the Mardi Gras king cake, a colorful confection very popular in New Orleans (and beyond) during Carnival season. This season occurs annually between January 6 (which is Epiphany or Twelfth Night, and when some people specifically serve and enjoy king cake) and Fat Tuesday, so it's very common to see king cakes galore available in bakeries and grocery stores during this celebratory time."
King cake resembles a pastry or sweet brioche and adapts well into a bread pudding. The king cake–inspired bread pudding features a sweetened brioche-like base, a spiced cinnamon filling, a cream cheese glaze, and optional sanding sugar in gold, green, and purple. The bread pudding reproduces the flavors, textures, and celebratory finishes of a classic king cake while reducing preparation time and technical skill, requiring about 30 minutes of prep. Mardi Gras king cake is a colorful confection popular in New Orleans and beyond during Carnival between January 6 (Epiphany) and Fat Tuesday, often widely available during the season.
