Easy Tres Leches Cupcakes

Moist and delicious cupcakes soaked in a sweet three-milk mixture, topped with whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 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. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. While cupcakes bake, mix evaporated milk, condensed milk, and whole milk in a bowl.
  7. Once cupcakes are done, let cool slightly, then poke holes in each with a fork. Slowly pour the milk mixture over each cupcake, allowing it to soak in.
  8. Refrigerate cupcakes for at least 1 hour.
  9. Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Top each cupcake with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
