Air Fryer King Cake Crescent Rolls
Learn how to make mini King Cakes in the air fryer using crescent rolls
Servings 8 mini cakes
Ingredients
For the dough
- 1 cainster Refrigerated Crescent Rolls dough
- 4 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the icing
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tbsp tablespoons half and half
- Mardi Gras colored sanding sugar or sprinkles (green, gold/yellow, purple)
Instructions
- Remove the dough from the can and unroll it. It should separate into two pieces.
- Take one half of the dough, roll it out with your hands. Cut that half into 24 squares. Repeat with the other half of the dough, so that you have 48 squares total. You will use 6 squares per mini cake.
- In a baking cup, add 1 square of dough, then a small amount of the butter/sugar mixture. Then put another square on top. Repeat this until you have 6 squares. Don't put any butter/sugar on the top square. Repeat this whole process until you have filled up 8 baking cups.
- Set your air fryer to 300 degrees. Add the baking cups, if they don't all fit, work in even batches. Cook for 7 minutes (check after 5 mintues) until the dough is cooked through and is golden brown.
- Remove the air fryer basket. While they cook, add the powdered sugar to a bowl. Mix in 1 tablespoon of half and half at a time until smooth and is the right consistency of icing.
- Once the mini cakes are cool enough to handle, but not fully cooled evenly spread the icing over each cake. Then immediately sprinkles with your sanding sugar or sprinkles. Serve warm.
