RECIPE: SEMI-HOMEMADE TRES LECHES CAKE

Ingredients:

• 1 pound cake
• 1/2 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 can evaporated milk
• 1 cup International Delight Iced Coffee, vanilla flavor
• 1 cup whipped cream

Directions:

• Cut the top and sides off the pound cake to make it an even rectangle, then slice it in half lengthwise.
• In a bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, evaporated milk, and International Delight Iced Coffee. Pour a little of this mixture into a loaf pan.
• Place one of the pound cake slices in the pan, and with the tines of a fork, poke holes in it.

• Slowly pour the milk/coffee mixture over the cake, giving it time to soak it all up. Place the second slice of pound cake atop the first, and repeat the pouring.
• While you can certainly dig in right away, this cake is best if refrigerated for a few hours, or overnight to allow it to fully absorb all the liquid.
• Spread an even layer of whipped cream onto the cake before serving.

• Top with fruit, chocolate shavings, toasted coconut, or just serve as is.

Recipe type: Cocktail

Serves: 12

INGREDIENTS

• 1¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 8 limes), plus 4 limes for stabilizing the popsicle sticks
• 1 (14oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup water
• ¼ cup tequila
• 2 tablespoons orange juice (optional)
• Kosher salt or margarita salt
  

You will also need:

• 12 (3oz) Dixie cups
• Small popsicle sticks or craft spoons
• A pitcher or large cocktail shaker

DIRECTIONS

1. In a pitcher or large cocktail shaker, combine the lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, water, tequila, and orange juice. It is important to combine the ingredients in a container that has a spout because it will make it much easier to pour the mix into cups.
2. Line out the Dixie cups on a baking sheet, so it will be easy to transport them to the freezer. Fill each Dixie cup 90% of the way with the tequila mixture.
3. Slice the limes into ¼ inch thick rounds. Push a craft spoon through the center of each lime round, so that half of the stick pokes out from each side. Top the mixture with the lime sticks. Make sure the lime is resting directly on top of the tequila mixture.
4. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight. When ready to remove the popsicles from the Dixie cups, simply snip a small cut in the rim of each cup and peel them away from the popsicle. Place the popsicles onto a dish with crushed ice to keep them from melting too quickly, Sprinkle the tops generously with kosher salt, and serve.
