Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line your muffin pan with Reynolds jumbo foil baking cups for jumbo cupcakes or regular size foil liner for regular size cupcakes.

- Pour batter into muffin pan and bake for 16-18 minutes. Fill 2/3 of each muffin cup to avoid overspill. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
3 Leches Mixture
- Using a blender, mix sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk. Mix for about 1 minute. You can also use a whisk to combine all milks together if you prefer.1 can sweet condensed milk, 1 can evaporated milk, 2 cups whole milk
- Once your cupcakes have cooled down, use a toothpick or fork to poke holes all over the top of each cupcake. Pour milk mixture into each cupcake. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. More time is highly recommended however, I only refrigerated the cupcakes for about 30 minutes since I was serving them within the hours.
Frosting
- In stand mixer, combine heavy whipping cream, sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat on medium high until thickened and stiff peaks form.2 cups heavy whipped cream, ¾ cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pipe whipped cream frosting onto each cupcake and top with freshly sliced strawberries. Enjoy!fresh sliced strawberries
