This past Thanksgiving I tested out a new dessert recipe that I found online by Sandra Lee who has the Semi-Homemade show on the Food Network. That is definitely my kind of cooking when I'm pressed for time. When the holidays rolls around I usually end up making my tried and true recipes which is most often made with chocolate...because I just like chocolate! This time, I wanted to make something different but easy. The
tres leches recipe is definitely a dessert that doesn't take a lot of time, but it does require some refrigeration preferably a few hours or overnight. If you want to try something new and different and want to wow your guests, definitely try this recipe!
 |
| Fresh off the oven! Pretty much like a simple yellow cake. |
 |
| Tres leches = 3 milks |
 |
| TIP: Poke lots and lots and lots of holes!! |
 |
| TIP: Pour the three milks mixture slowly and evenly. |
 |
| Refrigerate overnight to make sure the cake soaks up all of the milk. |
 |
| Toasted coconut can be omitted, but it added great texture and flavor. |
Looks pretty tasty, though I tend to take issue with this "semi-homemade" notion.
ReplyDeleteWhy have we evolved into a country that needs a box in order to bake?
I'm not saying you do - just that Sandra Lee should not be making money off this idea which promotes processed foods and laziness.
mmm! I had this once, when I was in Ecuador. the coconut does make it prettier!

That looks incredible! Such a unique recipe with the milk being poured on top but the coconut is the best part of it all! I'm adding this to my list of recipes to try out. :)
