Tres Leches Mixture

Chocolate Dulce de Leche

Espresso Meringues

For Assembly

Method

Chiffon Cake

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cake Batter

    In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.

  2. 2

    Beat Egg Whites

    In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

  4. 4

    Bake the Cake

    Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in the pan.

Tres Leches Mixture

  1. 5

    Prepare the Milk Mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, coffee, and rum until well combined.

  2. 6

    Soak the Cake

    Once the cake has cooled, poke holes all over the surface using a fork or skewer. Pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in for at least 1-2 hours, preferably overnight.

Chocolate Dulce de Leche

  1. 7

    Make the Dulce de Leche

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder. Cook while stirring frequently until thick and smooth, about 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool.

Espresso Meringues

  1. 8

    Prepare the Meringues

    Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C). In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Mix in the espresso powder.

  2. 9

    Bake the Meringues

    Spoon or pipe the meringue mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 1.5-2 hours until dry and crisp. Turn off the oven and let them cool inside.

For Assembly

  1. 10

    Assemble the Tiramisu Tres Leches

    Once the cake has soaked, spread the chocolate dulce de leche over the top. Top with espresso meringues, dust with cocoa powder, and garnish with chocolate shavings.

  2. 11

    Serve

    Slice into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your Tiramisu Tres Leches!
