Easy Tres Leches Cupcakes

Moist and decadent cupcakes soaked in a sweet three-milk mixture and topped with fluffy whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Ground cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Prepare cake mix according to package directions using eggs, oil, and water. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk. Poke holes in the top of each cupcake with a skewer and slowly pour the milk mixture over them, allowing it to soak in.
  4. In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Frost each cupcake with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.
