Mango Tres Leches Cake |Milk cake |Mango Milk cake

Tres leches means 3 milks in Spanish and you can imagine the rich creamy taste this cake provides, after being soaked in a mixture of evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and regular milk. These are also called Milk Cakes and trust me , they  are real addiction.

The  soft spongy base immersed in milk topped with cream cheese and fresh fruit. 

Now the fruit used can vary based on season as it's the mango season in India I topped and soaked the tres leches in mango flavour and topped it with fresh chopped mangoes, and it is a next-level dessert to try out for this summer!

 Calling all the mango lovers out there! This is seriously a show stopper dessert!All you need is a sweet delish mango ! My family loves any form of  cake so made it with our family fav fruit and they enjoyed every bit of it!
