Pastel de Tres Leches Cake

[ailadi17]

thanks for answered me, I will try to make it with the egg yolk ;)

When I made this cake, after I pour the mix of milks, I put it in the fridge, then when it is a bit firmer I frost it and again it goes to the fridge.

[freitasex]

@ailadi17

Yes exactly, you are correct with how to make it, thanks :-)

[ailadi17]

Why did you put eggs yolk with the milk mixture???

[freitasex]

@ailadi17

To make it taste richer and better, thanks!

[jerichocaeser]

I made this cake last night and had it today, it was the most incredible thing I have ever had. Sweetened condensed milk is the best.

[freitasex]

@jerichocaeser

Thank you!

[twilightgluver123456]

Thank you! I just made it I'm about to make the whipped cream! It looks good so far:)

[freitasex]

@twilightgluver123456

Excellent, I love the whipped cream :-)

[twilightgluver123456]

Also do I add all of the milk?

[twilightgluver123456]

When your mixing the milk and everything, if you don't have a blender what can I use? Please reply quickly!:)

[freitasex]

@twilightgluver123456

I suppose you could mix the milk mixture by hand with a whisk or fork, instead of a blender.

I use most of the milk, there is usually around 1/3 cup left that is a waste, sorry.

The milk mixture really makes this so good and good luck, I am sure you will do fine :-)

[twilightgluver123456]

I'm trying this today!:)

[TheMagnificentZianix]

[freitasex]

@mireina13

Yes, you can do that!

[freitasex]

@mireina13

But there is nothing better than homemade whipped cream.

[tjbollman1]

I will try your recipe soon, it looks delicious! Can you describe the taste? I don't think I have ever had anything like it. Thanks.

[freitasex]

@tjbollman1

I would describe as a flavorful cream or even heavy cream even though that was not used.

An excellent complex flavor :)

Thank you for your question!

[tjbollman1]

@freitasex  Thanks!

You did not get it yet?

I need to change shippers!

[dreamer72fem]

I remember you telling about this cake when we sat there talking. I bet this is GOOD!!!

[freitasex]

@dreamer72fem

It is very good if you ask me.

I was thinking if I stayed there that I would upload from the hotel, gees like that would happen with their internet connection, lol.

[chrissiemoda]

to all aussies watching this. the media crema stumped me but..... i found our verson. its exactly the same picture on the tin same size but its called table creme. i made this this morning its bugging me i just want to try it but i'll be good. i'll wait till tomorrow

[freitasex]

@chrissiemoda

Oh my, I am so happy you found the Table Cream.

That is exactly what crema media means, table cream!

[rahrahcool]

@chrissiemoda thank you so much chrissie!

[JoeHell67]

Hi,

i have subbed to many food channels but your recipes are the most mouthwatering!

and your cakes...YOUR CAKES!!

I know, i said it before but you, sir are the cake master on YT.... no doubt..

Joe from Germany

[freitasex]

@JoeHell67

Thank you Joe, my favorite is Carrot Cake :)

[1DRock37167]

I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!

I had a roommate who made this for me years ago and he used the handle of a wooden spoon to poke the holes in the cake, he said it soaked up the milk better:-)

[freitasex]

@1DRock37167

Thank you Daryl, the secret is to make your holes just when the cake comes out of the oven.

Thank you also for the good time and all the effort last weekend :)

[messtomasses]

your pronunciation of tres leches made me chuckle a bit, but the cake looks delicious! and after watching your lemon chicken curry video i subscribed :)

[freitasex]

@messtomasses

Thank you very much Cindy!

[stefan5445]

damn that looks tasty! unfortunately the sweetened condensed milk is hard to come by where i live -_-

the media crema....virtually impossible to find T_T

[freitasex]

@stefan5445

I cannot imagine finding anything Mexican there, I apologize.

[stefan5445]

@freitasex

i didn't mean it that way, i am so sorry, there is absolutely no need for you to apologize! O_O

forgive me if i made a grumpy impression, it was not intended!

[freitasex]

@stefan5445

I realize you do not mean grumpy, I was just trying to be nice :)

[stefan5445]

@freitasex

then i'm relieved ^_^

[qtaz1]

Can you use chocolate cake mix instead??

[freitasex]

@qtaz1

Sure, I have not tried that, but go for it.

[washyourblasingame]

This looks marvelous, just in time for me to make my own birthday cake. You are terrific!

[freitasex]

@washyourblasingame

Well Happy Birthday to you!

[AJLove17]

I LOVE TRES LECHES!! I Am mexican lol, and this is WAYY better than store bought cakes in the us, go to a mexican fresh bakery for these, and that makes my birthday (:

[freitasex]

@AJLove17

Thank you for that, means a lot to me!

[jcrefasi1]

Michael you never cease to amaze!! I wish you lived closer lol. I've had this made by a Latin bakery and two co-workers, one Cuban and one Honduran and all three used unsweetened whipped cream as a topping. I don't like meringue so I'm a happy camper!!

[freitasex]

@jcrefasi1

Thank you!

Meringue is okay, but whipped cream is better!

Thanks again :D

[CastlevaniaGirl]

What do the egg yolks do for the milk mixture?

[freitasex]

@CastlevaniaGirl

You do not have to use those, but they do add richness, thanks!

[catojoergensen1985]

Hi, if you cant get condensed milk, could you use anything as a substitute? Im thinking philadelphia, but again, I have no point of reference whatsoever :/

[freitasex]

@catojoergensen1985

Are you asking about the sweetened condensed milk or asking about the evaporated milk?

[gothickchik13]

i make this all the time lol

[freitasex]

@gothickchik13

Excellent!

I always wondered how many people use the Crema Media!

[gothickchik13]

@freitasex i don't use crema media.. i use sour cream sometimes or heavy cream lol. but i'm going to try the crema media! it looks yummy :)

[Fitange]

Sounds yum freitassex..

[freitasex]

@Fitange

Oh it is yum :)

Thanks!

[chrissiemoda]

i've always wanted to make this cake. love the idea of the packet mix. makes it a bit more realistic to make when you work full time. just wondering though. the

media crema is that like a long life cream in a can? :-)

[freitasex]

@chrissiemoda

I think it is used as a 'table cream' whatever that means.

It has a wonderful taste and kind of looks curdled when you open it.

I would say yes to your question.

[chocochitu]

god.... that looks soooo good >.<

[freitasex]

@chocochitu

Thanks!

[edenbainbridge]

piddles on people who get fussy over using a mix

did they not see the fiestawear? (every thing tastes better with it, that is a fact, lol)

that looks luscious!

xoexo

[freitasex]

@edenbainbridge

You are crazy, wonder if anybody else thinks that :)

[ghouliegirrl]

yum :)

[freitasex]

@ghouliegirrl

Thank you!

[LUKKA2020]

God damn it.....that looks awesome!!!

[freitasex]

@LUKKA2020

Thank you very much :)

[pinklily07]

Definitively not disappointed! 

[freitasex]

@pinklily07

Thank you!

[AngryLlamaAttack]

looks great!! but when are you going to make peruvian chicken D*:

[freitasex]

@AngryLlamaAttack

I don't know if I will make that or not, I am thinking about it.

When it sounds good to me I will probably make it, I eat all this :)

[DXDanselasDX]

I love your videos man! Great recipes, simple, wholesome, traditional [With just a few twists which are what cookings all about!] and just plain delicious keep it up :3

[freitasex]

@DXDanselasDX

Thanks.... I thought whipped cream sounded better than meringue.

[DXDanselasDX]

@freitasex Definately, i mean dont get me wrong i love meringue but for a simple cake especially like this i would go with a whipped cream every time which is probably partly due to the fact that its such a comfort thing in food, but that leads to a deep psychological conversation and cake is no place for that o.o

[rhosteph]

My favorite cake!! I'll be right over!

[freitasex]

@rhosteph

I will slice you up a big piece then :)

[thizizliz]

Ooh, it's gorgeous. Of course you turned it from Tres Leches into quatro leches with the whipping cream! :) So it's not overly sweet then? It kind of looks like a pudding sort of thing. Yum.

[freitasex]

@thizizliz

To me... no .. not overly sweet, but if you are worried about that, just do not add any sugar to the whipped cream.

Thanks so much Liz :)

[twish1999]

Oh my gosh, calorie heaven!

I love how you say 'fridgerator'

I bet this cake is divine!

Greetz from Glasgow / Scotland...

[freitasex]

@MadMacTennents

This last Thursday, I went to an Irish Pub in Nashville, Tennessee.

Many the music was LOUD.

The food was excellent, had some Mussels for appetizer, then what they called Dublin Stuffed Pork Tenderloin with taters and green beans.

Had a pint of Harps beer to wash it down.

[superRJproductions1]

mannn I have tried that and its the best fucking mexican cake!!!!

[freitasex]

@superRJproductions1

I have to agree with you on that, thanks!

[Niquee1]

it looks really yummy, but here where I live we don't have evaporated milk, do you know anything that could replace it??? otherwise it would be pastel de dos leches lol

[freitasex]

@Niquee1

Yes, you can substitute a light cream!

[poobum50]

Does the cake have to be a white cake? That looks so good, I want to make it when I go home for thanksgiving (the canadian one)

[freitasex]

@poobum50

The cake can be yellow, it would taste the same.

Thank you for your question!

[jeremybalce]

Me so hungry.... me love food long time...

[freitasex]

@jeremybalce

I love you long time too, lol!

[SirGomez81]

@Scorpion11381

I am actually part american indian.

[werewolf30000]

This looks really good I bet it also tastes good too oh question are you still using the vanilla extract that u made?

[freitasex]

@werewolf30000

Oh yes of course, I will never buy vanilla extract at the store again!

[MissPonderosa]

o m g... wow that looked so moist and yes... 'marvellous' XD The bit at 2:18 looked really cool how the 3 milks seeped through the cake!

MMMM creamy :D

[freitasex]

@MissPonderosa

Thanks!

I did take a spoon and re-apply that milk from the sides.

[Fitange]

mmm yum!!!! was wondering what media crema was? never heard of it, but then again im from Australia. Is there a substitute for it?

[freitasex]

@Fitange

It is a Mexican concoction, when you open the tins... it looks curdled and tastes wonderful.

To me it sort of tastes like 1/2 american cream cheese diluted with 1/2 double cream.

[ShowMeHowNow]

wow! it's Mexican week at Michael's! lol looks good man. You have my mouth watering already!

[freitasex]

@ShowMeHowNow

I do not know what I love more....

Mexican or Asian food, they rank at the top of my list, just like you do!
