Easy Tres Leches Cupcakes

Moist and delicious cupcakes soaked in three kinds of milk and topped with fluffy whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Ground cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Prepare cake mix according to package directions using eggs, oil, and water. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
  3. Whisk together sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk in a bowl. Poke holes in cooled cupcakes with a skewer and slowly pour milk mixture over each, allowing it to absorb.
  4. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Frost cupcakes with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste.
