Yields: 1 serving

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 double shot of espresso (about 2 oz)

  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk

  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • A pinch of cinnamon (for garnish, optional)

  • Whipped cream (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Tres Leches Cream: In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Heat gently, stirring constantly, until the mixture is warm and well combined. Do not let it boil.

  2. Brew the Espresso: While the Tres Leches cream is warming, brew a double shot of espresso.

  4. Garnish and Enjoy: Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips & Variations:

  • Iced Version: For an iced latte, follow the same steps but chill the Tres Leches cream and espresso before combining. Pour over ice in a glass.

  • Decaf: Use decaffeinated espresso or coffee for a caffeine-free version.

  • Coffee Substitute: Don't have an espresso machine? Use 4 ounces of strong-brewed coffee instead of a double shot of espresso.

  • Spice it Up: Add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of rum extract to the Tres Leches cream for an extra layer of flavor.

  • Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk to control the sweetness of your latte.

Slow Cooker Chili Recipe

Image
  While most standard chili recipes are designed for ground meat to simmer all day, incorporating seafood like shrimp requires a specific technique to avoid overcooking. Below is a slow cooker adaptation of spicy shrimp and bean chili based on the flavors of traditional stovetop recipes, which naturally include jalapeños for a "spicy" kick. Key Slow Cooker Technique for Shrimp Because shrimp cook in only 3–5 minutes, you cannot add them at the beginning of a all-day slow cook, or they will become rubbery. The Rule: Cook the chili base (beans, tomatoes, spices, jalapeños) for 6–8 hours on Low, then add raw shrimp during the last 15–30 minutes of cooking time. Slow Cooker Spicy Bean and Shrimp Jalapeño Chili This recipe combines the hardiness of a bean chili with the unique texture of large shrimp. For the spiciest version, keep the seeds in the jalapeños. Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 6–8 hours (Low) + 20 minutes for shrimp Yield: 4–6 servings Ingredients Category Ing...
