Quick & Easy Tres Leches

INGREDIENTS:

1 box yellow cake

Prepare the cake based on the directions in the box. Bake. While waiting, prepare the cream syrup.

Cream syrup for soaking:
• 12 oz. evaporated milk
• 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon rum or brandy (optional)

Whisk together the three milks and the rum or brandy if you are using it. With a fork, punch tiny holes all over the cake. The more holes, the better. Make it clean. Slowly pour the liquid over the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Occasionally, spoon the milk runoff back onto the cake.

Optional: Instead of heavy cream, use coconut milk. Whisk everything in low heat.

Whipped topping:

Extra creamy cool whip
Condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla

Slowly mix the condensed milk with the cool whip. Fold gently. Add the vanilla. Spread the whipped topping all over the cake.

Optional : Top with berries or toasted coconut flakes.
