Magi Pie: 8 Easy Steps

Better times are coming!

Mardi Gras isn't called "Fat Tuesday" for nothing. Celebrate like a New Orleanian by making a delicious and easy Magi Pie.

Step 1: Prepare the filling

Combine 4 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup raisins, 1/4 cup chopped pecans, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a food processor and process until smooth.

Step 2: Roll out the dough

Unfold 2 packages of croissant dough and divide into triangles. On parchment paper, arrange the triangles of dough in a large circle, with the points toward the center, overlapping each other by about 0.6 cm on the long side.

Step 3: Add filling and figurine

Spoon the filling onto the dough, evenly spaced from the top and bottom of each triangle. Don't forget to place a small plastic baby figurine or dried bean at random! (Whoever gets the surprise slice will have good luck for the year.)

Step 4: Fold the edges

Fold the short sides of the triangles toward the center, then pull the top of each triangle toward the outer edge of the pan to completely enclose the filling.

...and press the seams lightly

When the edges are folded and sealed tightly, the pie is ready to bake.

Step 5: Bake

Bake the pie at 180°C for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool completely.

Step 6: Make the glaze

Whisk together 1.5 cups powdered sugar, 3-4 tablespoons milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 7: Frost

Spoon the glaze over the top of the cooled cake, allowing any excess to drip down the sides.

Step 8: Decorate with sprinkles

While the icing is still wet, decorate the cake with purple, yellow, and green sugar sprinkles.
