King Cake Bread Pudding

Prep: 15 min | Total: 1 hr | Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Bread Pudding

  • 1 (16.3 ounce) can Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers refrigerated Buttermilk biscuits
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup milk or Half-and-Half
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Glaze and Decorations

  • 2 cups cream cheese frosting (from two 1 pound cans)
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon, if desired
  • Yellow, purple and green sanding sugar, coarse sparkling sugar or candy sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 13 x 9 inch (3 quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.

Bread Pudding

  1. Bake biscuits as directed on can. Cool.
  2. Meanwhile, in very large bowl, beat eggs slightly. Add milk and sugar; beat well. Stir in pecans, raisins and cinnamon.
  3. Cut each cooled biscuit into 6 (1 inch) pieces. Add biscuit pieces to egg mixture; gently stir to mix and coat well. Let stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, so biscuit pieces soak up egg mixture. Pour mixture into baking dish; press down slightly to even top.
  4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until knife inserted into egg mixture comes out clean.
  5. Remove from oven; cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

  1. In small bowl, mix frosting and bourbon until well combined. Spread Glaze evenly over Bread Pudding.
  2. Sprinkle sanding sugar over top to make it pretty!
