The world of Mexican desserts is as vast as it is delicious, and the best of it can be summed up in three sweet words: Tres Leches Cake. That’s why today we have the best tres leches recipe in Porfirio’s style for all you dessert lovers.
Three milk cake is a popular dessert in several Latin American countries. It’s made from a sponge cake soaked in three types of milk, resulting in a moist, rich, and decadent cake. It’s a common feature at celebrations and special occasions like birthdays, weddings, baptisms, and parties. Its texture and sweet flavor make it a popular choice to share on all kinds of occasions.
First Stop: Eggnog Station
What happens when we combine the tradition of this dessert with the flavor of eggnog? The answer is an irresistible masterpiece. We soak a soft sponge cake with the traditional mixture of evaporated milk, condensed milk, and cream with our distinctive touch: sweet eggnog liqueur.
Irresistible Textures: Candied Peanuts
Another classic ingredient from Mexican culture, where crunchy peanuts are coated with a melted sugar mixture, providing both a salty and caramelized flavor and an explosion of textures with every bite.
Freshness and Visual Contrast: Red Berries
To balance the richness and sweetness, we’ve added a selection of different berries that provide a visual contrast and a refreshing note, perfect for complementing the dessert’s flavors with their characteristic acidity.
Flavors that Transcend: White Chocolate
A thin layer of chocolate coats our cake in a delicate and crispy layer that contrasts perfectly with the creaminess of the milks and the distinctive touch of Rompope.
The Final Touch: Cinnamon Whipped Cream
The “cherry on top,” a combination of cinnamon and whipped cream, providing a comforting essence and elevating the flavor of this Mexican gastronomy gem.
