This Keto King Cake recipe is the perfect sugar-free dessert to serve for the Carnival season, and especially for Mardi Gras!
To make the colored sweetener; place ¼ cup of erythritol or xylitol into a zip-lock bag. Add 2 drops of food coloring to start and shake to mix – add additional food coloring until the desired shade is achieved.
Whilst the King Cake traditionally includes a “baked in” plastic baby, we did not add one to our cake just to stay on the safe side.
