Tres Leches Fudge Bites
This innovative tres leches fudge can be prepared within minutes and frozen upto a month! A delicious, last minute treat (or make-ahead-treat) that you prepare for your guests!
I’m hoping you all have heard of a Tres Leches Cake. For those of you who don’t know – it is a Mexican cake soaked in 3 kinds of milk. It is rich, dense and delicious.
Consider this: You have a (Christmas) Party / Get-together. You decide you are going to take the trouble of making this cake for your guests. However, you then realize it is already Christmas day (or the party day) and you have so much of cooking / preparing to do that there is no time for making a tres leches cake!. What would you do? Would you run out the store to get some ice cream? Naa.. that doesn’t seem like you made the effort…
You should instead quickly whip up a Tres Leches Fudge. So easy, fudgy and delicious! Like the name suggests, it is made up of 3 kinds of dairy products – condensed milk, cream cheese & milk powder!
Tres Leches Fudge Bites
In a microwave safe bowl, add cream cheese, milk powder, condensed milk. Mix well
Microwave for about 30 seconds.
Beat well to get a creamy texture. Let it cool for a few minutes. Constantly stir the mixture to avoid formation of a skin. Add the vanilla extract when the mixture is warm and mix well
If you are in a hurry, add some more milk powder to bind it quickly.
Cover and freeze for 30 minutes or until you have a thick mixture that you can make balls out of.
Roll into equal sized (about 1 tablespoon each) balls. Freeze for 30 minutes.
Sprinkle colorful funfetti / sprinkles & serve!
