Pastel de Tres Leches

I found Rick Bayless's version. He says it's popular in Mexico & other parts of Latin America. Some of the cream is made into a custard & drizzled over the cake while it cools. The rest of the heavy cream is whipped with sugar & orange liquor then used as a frosting.

I'd be happy to e-mail this version of the recipe to you. Personally, I'd leave it alone & save it for an occasional indulgence. When I'm bad, I want to be very, very bad. There's a reason this is called "Celebration Cake".

Believe it or not, I found a very much de-fatted recipe posted on the former "Soar" recipe site. I'll post it real soon, I promise.

Probably, but I'm disappointed that there is no chocolate in it! I suppose I could sprinkle it with chocolate chips!;-)

that's the address for the recipe. I also would use skim milk instead of full fat milk, and fat free evaporated milk and fat free sweetened condensed milk. Also, fat free sour cream. I think that's as de-fatted as we're going to get it.
