The Trader Joe's Dessert Reddit Just Can't Resist
The power of three in the culinary world is not only impressive, but it's also delicious. We love three-course meals and three-ingredient recipes, like homemade triple-layer magic cake, and who doesn't love the sweet and creamy Tres Leches? Tres Leches cake which, per Natasha's Kitchen, is described as a traditional Mexican cake that has been bathed in evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream, has been a part of the dessert universe for longer than our taste buds can remember. Even Ree Drummond is a fan of this dessert which she notes on her site never gets soggy.
According to the Loco Gringo, Nestlé Company is responsible for the "mainstream" meteoric rise of this cake due to their opening of a plant in the 1930s in Mexico and showcasing the recipe for Tres Leches on cans of cream and evaporated and condensed milk. It's definitely a cake worth learning how to make if you like to make cakes; however, it's even a better cake to chow down on. And if you don't have the time to try making one of your own, Trader Joe's has one that Reddit users say is just yummy.
