I finally tried out a cream cheese filling for my king cake recipe. Recipe is below. It makes enough for two king cakes. I rolled out my dough pretty thin, smeared the filling along an edge, and rolled it over to seal in the filling. Then I dusted the dough with cinnamon and finished rolling it up.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs full fat cream cheese

• 250g powdered sugar

• 25g AP flour

• 1 egg

Directions:

1. Beat together room temperature cream cheese and 150g of powdered sugar. Start at a low speed so the powdered sugar doesn’t make the kitchen white.

2. Beat in 25g flour

3. Beat in 1 egg

4. Beat in remaining 100g powdered sugar. Beat until smooth.
