Mini King Cake Bites

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mini King Cake Bites.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your air fryer to a cozy 360°F (182°C) and give the basket a light spritz of cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2. Step 2

   In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, softened butter, and ground cinnamon, mixing until you have a smooth and delightful cinnamon butter mixture.

3. Step 3

   Next, open your can of crescent roll dough and carefully separate it into four rectangles.

4. Step 4

   Take a moment to press the seams together firmly, sealing the dough to keep all that delicious filling inside.

5. Step 5

   Now, spread the cinnamon butter mixture evenly over each rectangle, making sure to leave a small border around the edges for a neat finish.

6. Step 6

   From one long edge, roll each rectangle tightly into a log about 10 inches long, sealing any open seams as you go to keep the goodness contained.

7. Step 7

   Once rolled, bring the ends of each log together to form a charming oval shape, pressing tightly to seal and prevent any filling from escaping during cooking.

8. Step 8

   Place one or two of your mini king cakes in the prepared air fryer basket, ensuring you don’t overcrowd them for even cooking.

9. Step 9

   Air-fry the cakes for about 5 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.

10. Step 10

    When they’re done, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, filling your kitchen with a heavenly aroma.

11. Step 11

    While the cakes cool, whisk together powdered sugar and milk in a bowl until you achieve a smooth icing.

12. Step 12

    For a splash of color, divide the icing into three bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each, mixing until you reach your desired shades.

13. Step 13

    Now comes the fun part! Drizzle the colorful icing over each cooled mini king cake and sprinkle with vibrant colored sugar or festive sprinkles to make them pop.
