Strawberry Crunch Tres Leches 🍓🍰

STEP 1: CAKE

- Follow the instructions on the cake mix box. (The author likes to replace the water & oil with whole milk & sour cream).

- Once baked, let it cool completely then poke multiple holes throughout the cake.

STEP 2: STRAWBERRY CRUNCH

- Add the Oreo cookies to a food processor or blender and pulse for 3-5 seconds.

- Transfer the pulsed cookies to a bowl and add the strawberry gelatin and melted butter. Mix sparingly, making sure to have an equal ratio of both strawberry and vanilla crunch.

- Transfer the cookie mixture to a baking sheet and set an air fryer at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes (cook time will vary on the air fryer).

- Remove from the air fryer and let it cool.

- Once cool, break the cookies into crumbles and set aside.

STEP 3: TRES LECHES MIX

- To a bowl, combine and mix evaporated milk, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and strawberry extract.

- *Optional: Add more condensed milk or strawberry extract varying on desired sweetness and strawberry flavor.*

STEP 4: WHIPPED CREAM

- Add heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl. (Freezing the mixing bowl for 45 minutes prior gives the most optimal results).

- Set the mixing stand on low speed for the first 5 minutes then increase the speed higher until stiff peaks form.

- Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag.

Optional to leave the cake in the pan or serve individually. Pour the tres leches mix generously over the poked cake, then add whipped cream, followed by the strawberry crunch. ENJOY!
