Mini Tres Leches Cakes with homemade whipped cream and cherry.
This was a quick dessert. I already had the vanilla cake wrapped in plastic in the fridge. Originally I was planning on using it to decorate with buttercream, but I just didn’t feel like doing that. What can I say? I change my mind pretty often. 🙂
Instead I broke the cake into pieces and placed in ramekins and plastic to-go cups for a quick dessert.
For the cake I used the Magnolia Bakery’s vanilla birthday cake recipe.

2- With an electric mixer (whisk attachment), beat the mixture in high until soft peeks form.
3- Use immediately or place in air tight container in the fridge for about a week.

1 can of evaporated milk
1 can of fat free condensed milk
2 cups of whole milk

Mix all the milks and pour over the cooled cake. Refrigerate immediately for at least 30 minutes to allow the cake to soak the mixture. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

You can finish off with homemade whipped cream or cool whip and cherries.
The possibilities are endless. How about adding some homemade caramel to the mixture? I might have to try that next.
