Banana Bread Variations: Tres Leches
Turn your banana bread muffins into a tres leches treat! Cool your banana bread completely, make your soak, and get ready for some magic! (You can also make this in cake rounds or cake pans — just don't try to turn a standard loaf into this version.)
Recipe Ingredients
- - 1 cup whole milk
- - 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- - 6 ounces evaporated milk
- - Pinch of salt
- - 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- - 1/3 cup sugar
- - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Recipe Instructions
- Add the whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and pinch of salt to a bowl and whisk until everything is evenly distributed.
- Once the banana bread has been made and cooled, use a fork to poke holes all over the cake. This will allow the milk mixture to work its way into the cake. After poking the holes, pour the milk mixture over the cake in 2 batches. A ladle can make this process easier, but work in small spoonfuls so the cupcakes will eventually take up all the milk mixture.
- In another bowl, whip heavy cream with the sugar and vanilla until you achieve medium to medium-stiff peaks (these will hold their shape when you take it out of the bowl, but they aren't rigid and may curl a bit at the tips and will spread nicely.)
- Spread the whipped cream over the cakes and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight before serving.
