This Tres Leches Chocolate Cake is different than the typical Tres Leches cake made with vanilla cake. I decided to expereiment and use brownies instead and reduced the milk some. It turned out so good! You can use any brownie recipe you like. I decided to go for the boxed brownie mix at the store, but you can make them from scratch of course. I like shorts cuts every now and then 🙂
It’s best to make this in a 9×13 pan, but you can use two small pans or even an 8×8, but keep in mind you will have a layer of whipped cream on the top so a deep dish is better. I find it easier to store this in the 9×13 casserole dish with a cover. I will link the products below:

- When the brownies are done, let them cool and little bit for 10-15 minutes. Then poke holes throughout the whole brownie with a fork. Slowly pour the milk mixture into the brownies.
- Let cool in refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
WHIPPED CREAM
