Isnt that where something in milk messes you whole digestive system? Dont got any natural ailments Ive been gifted w decent health

[@cassandramann2699]

GameSeekr041 Contreras it’s the lactose in milk. Lactose intolerance comes from when your body can’t produce enough lactose enzymes to break down lactose in dairy products.

[@TarrikX]

Lactase enzyme* lactase breaks down lactose

[@mitzyannalee3942]

I'm lactose intolerant and Mexican. That means there's tres leches cake and stomach pain in every family party I go to 😂 My fave!

There are actually tablets for that! It keeps your stomach from going rotten so you can enjoy as many slices as you want!

Here in Costa Rica tres leches is served directly form the rectangle glass baking dish it's baked in. And has a lot of extra milk at the bottom. I've never seen it round and out of the pan. Seems weird because you want that extra milky goodness at the bottom of the pan to serve over your slice. Also, I think you can make dulce de leche by boiling a can of sweetened condensed milk for a very long time, or in a slow cooker, but don't quote me on that. I just buy it at the supermarket.

[@TheUgliestKitchen]

Yeah, that's how most people make it in the US too. I don't think he's latino, so maybe white people make tres leches like this (but I really don't think so I think he was just trying to make it look cool?).

pro dulce tip, just take cans of consensed milk and boil them for a super long time (in the can) -- perfect dulce every time

[@SKyrim190]

Brazilians do this in a pressure cooker. I have never done it, because the idea of putting a can inside a pressure cooker kind of terrifies me.

[@TheKazeetie]

People, please do not boil things in cans (especially not on the stove). You're basically creating a pipe bomb full of molten, sticky liquid.

[@brokenphantom3g]

I wouldn't boil or pressure cook it, but I do this in my Slow Cooker on low. Throw a tea towel in the bottom, add two or three cans, fill the crock with water covering the cans by about an inch and set on low for 8-10 hours. Just turn it off and let it sit in the water until it cools completely.

[@luiscascante]

A tip, at least the way my mom does it, you could try and bake it in a "pyrex", I don't know if that's the actual name it's a glass thing for the cake, and not take it out, that way the milks that are not absorbed will be left at the bottom of it, and when serving you can put it on top. It makes for a less dry tres leches and in my opinion, better. A dry tres leches is awful.

[@anamf247]

a dry tres leches is what?? did you die in the middle of writing this comment? i need to know the answer!

[@santiagoarce5672]

Where are you form. Because my mom also makes it like that, but when I went to a Peruvian restaurant, the tres leches they gave us was like the one Babish made. I prefer my mom's and (I think in general the Venezuelan) way of doing it.

[@zobia17]

I made this last minute for my sister's birthday and she said it's the best tres leches cakes she has had. thank you for providing such a fool proof yet quick recipe 😍

[@vickst0892]

First, thank you, Babish, for making a recipe that's so close to my heart. It's one of my all-time favorites and I'm sure yours ended up absolutely delicious. But I cringed once I saw the cake being unmolded and being layered. A Tres Leches cake is normally baked and then assembled in a container (most commonly glass) because it's supposed to be very a soft, almost creamy dessert that also needs to be refrigerated at all times. Lastly, I feel the need to say that even though it might seem daunting with all those different steps, it's actually a really simple and forgiving recipe. Those "it's so yummy that is hard to screw up" kind of things. So for those reading that are wanting to try it, just give it a go. It's worth it.

[@NicxNicoleeS26]

I am trying to make this for mother's day but into a two tiered cake, small preferably. Should I soak it in with less milk to prevent it from becoming too soggy and eventually fall apart? I know it's not the original recipe but I wanted to have fun with the recipe for mother's day. What do you think

[@vickst0892]

@@NicxNicoleeS26 Hi! You could definitely try it, it would be like making a tiramisu almost. Just remember that you cannot unmold it, it's a cake that must be on the recipient at all times, but you can assemble it in a glass casserole dish or a trifle glass mold so the layering can be visible. If I were you I'd cut the cake in half once you bake it and it cools. Put one half, soak it a bit, put a layer of meringue topping, put the other half, soak it a bit, and then top it all off with more meringue. A really nice combination with this cake is laminated almonds, you could add some to the filling and topping if you want. I like that you're switching it up, another delicious version of this that I enjoy is chocolate tres leches. Have fun!
