Tres Leches

This is a wonderful easy dessert for the holidays or for any special occasion. It is prepared with cake batter, and three milks. Whole milk, condensed milk, and evaporated milk. I have modified it instead of whole milk, use skim milk. Instead of regular condensed milk, use fat free. Instead of regular evaporated milk, use fat free. Instead of the regular sugar, use substitute sugar. It is a little less calories and healthier. If you bring this to your next Christmas party it’ll surely be a hit.
