Tres Leches is one of the most luscious desserts ever invented. The sponge cake is soaked with three different kinds of milk (whole, evaporated, and condensed), making it incredibly moist and rich. As if that wasn’t enough, the cake is then frosted with meringue or whipped cream to top it off. I infuse coffee into the milk, trio to take it to another level; it’s like sopping up melted coffee ice cream with soft vanilla cake! Orange or banana liqueur are other options in place
