Tres Leches Cake with Seasonal Fruit

"Not quite a cake, not a custard, something truly delicious inbetween. My husband and I attended a cooking class with friends and had this for dessert. We wanted to lick the plates but thought it rude! Simply the best we have ever had the pleasure to eat."

  1. I thought this was great but my hubby thought it was too similar to custard for his liking. I loved how simple it was to make and how the it complimented the fruit. Thank you for sharing. : )
     
  2. I wanted to make tres leches cupcakes as a surprise for my boyfriend and I made two versions--this one and another trest leches recipe on this site that is called "cuatro leches". I thought he would love the other recipe that uses hazelnut creamer as the fourth milk (since he loves it in his coffee), but to my surprise, he loved this recipe and devoured it! I topped the cupcakes with Reddi Whip and mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries) and it was fantastic. I can't wait to make this for his upcoming birthday. Thanks for sharing.
     
  3. actually, for ease of prep and deliciosity, this deserves 10 stars. I went the extra mile and whipped my own cream instead of using Reddi Whip or Cool Whip, and used blueberries and red raspberries. Yum, Yum!
     
  4. I've been wanting to try this type of cake for months. I finally made it this weekend and served it after Easter dinner. I uses halved strawberries, kiwi and banana slices on top of rum spiked whipped cream. I was expecting this to be very wet and soggy, but the cake soaked up almost all the milks. End result-moist, sweet and yummy. A very nice dessert if you want something creamy and fruity.
     
  5. I always thought tres leches would be difficult to make so I never attempted. This was so easy! I bought duncan hines pudding in the mix white cake mix and let me tell you it turned out yummy! I also used the whole small can of condensed milk! Come on, who can say there watching calories when your eating a slice of this kind of cake? Everyone that had a taste loved it! I like my tres leches with plenty of leche and this one has it. Gracias Lori!

I live in sunny southern California, in San Diego County. The weather is almost perfect everyday. I love to cook and create- when the two can be combined, I am in heaven. My husband and I are in a gourmet club that we enjoy, people who enjoy eating are great! My favorite cookbook of all times is the Silver Palette: Good Times Cookbook- never have I made a stinker from those delightful recipes. Since I enjoy working on my cooking skills, painting, writing a book and spending time with my husband, son and friends.
