This Mexican Tres Leches Coffee topped with a mountain of whipped cream, cinnamon and chocolate shavings is easy to make at home and irresistibly yummy!
Three words. Treat. Yo. Self.
That’s literally all it takes to convince myself to dive right into that big mug of warm Mexican Tres Leches Coffee topped with a mountain of whipped cream, cinnamon and chocolate shavings.
But who can blame me, right? It’s finally getting cold out there, the holidays are right around the corner, and life can get pretty stressful this time of year. Oh, and can we talk about how much it sucks that it’s completely dark outside at 5:30 pm now? ? The time change is killing my evening energy.
Bottom line – I think we all need a little #treatyoself in our lives right now. Which is why I’m so excited to partner with Starbucks® and Giant Eagle stores to bring you this insanely easy and delicious Mexican Tres Leches Coffee drink made with Starbucks® Holiday Blend ground coffee and topped with Giant Eagle cinnamon and whipped cream.
Sure, it may look a little fancy, but you don’t need any special equipment to make this right at home. Just your normal coffee pot (or you can make a cup using Starbucks® Holiday Blend K-Cup® pods) and a spoon to mix everything together.
So go on. Treat. Yo. Self.
To make the Tres Leches coffee creamer, just mix together three ingredients.
- sweetened condensed milk
- evaporated fat-free milk
- half and half
Pour creamer into your coffee, mix and top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings ( I used my normal vegetable peeler to shave a chocolate bar) and cinnamon.
Note – this drink is best enjoyed snuggled up under a warm blanket on your favorite couch with your loved ones. ❤️
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
