Tres Leches Cupcakes

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

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
  4. Gradually mix in the flour mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Mix until just combined.
  5. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full with batter. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together condensed milk, evaporated milk, and 1/4 cup of the heavy cream. Poke holes in the warm cupcakes and slowly pour the milk mixture over them, allowing it to soak in.
  7. In a chilled bowl, whip remaining heavy cream with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
  8. Refrigerate cupcakes for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes
