Instructions
Creating King Cake Bread Pudding is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the King Cake: Cut the King Cake into 1-inch cubes and place them in the greased baking dish.
3. Make the Custard Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine the Mixtures: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are well soaked. Gently press down to help the bread absorb the custard.
5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the bread pudding cool in the baking dish for about 15-20 minutes.
7. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency as needed.
8. Drizzle the Glaze: Once the bread pudding has cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top.
9. Add Sprinkles: Finish by adding colorful sprinkles to enhance the festive look.
