Raspberry Tres Leches Parfait with Chocolate Shavings
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) of evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup of whole milk
- 1/2 cup of chocolate shavings
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk until well combined.
- To assemble the parfaits, start by spooning a layer of the tres leches mixture into the bottom of each serving glass. Add a layer of the raspberry sauce on top of the tres leches mixture. Repeat the layers until the glass is filled, ending with a layer of the tres leches mixture on top.
- Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the parfait to set.
- Before serving, sprinkle the top of each parfait with chocolate shavings. Enjoy!
The Raspberry Tres Leches Parfait with added chocolate shavings is a delightful twist on the classic Latin American dessert. Originating in Mexico, Tres Leches cake has been a beloved treat for generations. The addition of raspberries and chocolate shavings brings a burst of fruity sweetness and rich, indulgent flavor to this traditional dessert. Renowned chefs in Mexico and across Latin America have put their own spin on this dessert, incorporating local ingredients and innovative techniques. The best version of this dish can be found in authentic Mexican restaurants or upscale Latin American eateries, where skilled pastry chefs take pride in creating the perfect balance of moist Tres Leches cake, creamy filling, and fresh raspberries, topped with decadent chocolate shavings. To make this dessert at home, it's crucial to nail the texture of the Tres Leches cake, ensuring it soaks up the three milks (condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream) without becoming soggy. The raspberries should be ripe and juicy, adding a burst of tangy sweetness to each bite. As for the chocolate shavings, using high-quality dark chocolate and a sharp grater will result in the perfect finishing touch. For a unique twist, some chefs incorporate a layer of chocolate mousse or ganache between the Tres Leches cake and the raspberries, adding an extra layer of indulgence to the parfait. Whether enjoyed in a bustling Mexican market or crafted with love in a home kitchen, the Raspberry Tres Leches Parfait with added chocolate shavings is a delightful marriage of flavors and textures that continues to captivate dessert lovers around the world.
