17 Deliciously Decadent Mardi Gras Dessert Recipes

Confession: I have a bit of a picky palette. I do not get risky with my foods and don’t enjoy anything super spicy.

So unfortunately many of the traditional New Orleans and Mardi Gras main dish recipes are lost on me. But desserts? I’m all for those! So this round up is dedicated to those deliciously decadent desserts that shine during Mardi Gras. I even have a few yummy drinks at the end for those who prefer to drink their desserts.

So enjoy and try not to drool on your keyboard… 😉
