Tres Leches Pancakes with Whipped Cream
Story
One morning, Don Luis stood by the stove, flipping golden pancakes while reminiscing about his abuela’s famous Tres Leches cake. “What if we combine the magic of Tres Leches with a fluffy pancake?” he thought. That’s how Tres Leches Pancakes were born—a soft, pillowy stack soaked in sweet, creamy goodness, topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of dulce de leche. This dish brings the joy of dessert to breakfast, making every bite feel like a celebration! 🎂✨
Ingredients
- For the Pancakes:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup evaporated milk
- 0.5 cup condensed milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- For the Topping:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dulce de leche (for drizzling)
- Ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
- 11️⃣ Make the Pancake Batter – In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In another bowl, mix whole milk, evaporated milk, condensed milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Slowly combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until smooth. 🥞✨
- 22️⃣ Cook the Pancakes – Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form on top. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter. 🔥🥄
- 33️⃣ Whip the Cream – In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. 🥛❄️
- 44️⃣ Assemble & Soak – Stack the pancakes and drizzle with extra condensed milk to enhance the Tres Leches effect. Let them soak slightly for maximum flavor. 🍶🥞
