This Hispanic dessert is becoming really popular all around the country and I think that Tres Leches, Spanish for "three milks," translates to lots of "OOH IT'S SO GOOD!!"

What You'll Need

  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
  • 1 pint half-and-half
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 pound cakes (12 ounces each)
  • 1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

What to Do

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, half-and-half, and salt; stir well and set aside.
     
  2. Cut each pound cake into six slices. Lay the slices tightly into the bottom of a 9" x 13" baking pan.
     
  3. Pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake slices, cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
     
  4. Spread the whipped topping over the cake and chill uncovered for another 1 to 2 hours. (There will still be some liquid on the bottom of the pan because this is more like a pudding than a regular cake and should be eaten with a spoon.)

Notes

It's traditional to eat this plain, but I like to cover the top with fresh berries, other fresh fruit, or your favorite pie filling before serving.
