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.

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.

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!
