Tres Leches

This recipe is made with a cake mix, but is amazing.  It tastes so good that there is no real reason to go to the extra effort of making the cake from scratch.  Brett loves the Cafe Rio tres leches, but said this beats it, hands down.

Serves:

10 to 12 servings

Ingredients

• 1 yellow cake mix (with pudding) baked as directed in 13 by 9-inch pan

For topping mixture:

• 1 can evaporated milk
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 pint heavy whipping cream

To finish:

• Whipped cream, to cover cake (I buy a quart of whipping cream, and use 2 cups for the topping, then whip the remaining 2 cups with 1/3 cup of powdered or granulated sugar for the "frosting")
• 5 ounces sweetened coconut (optional)

Directions

Poke holes in the cake with a fork all over. Pour topping mixture over cake. Let mixture absorb completely in refrigerator.

Cover with whipped cream or cool whip and sprinkle sweetened coconut over top of cake.

OPTIONAL: Add macadamia nuts, cherries and/or pineapple.
