Pastel de tres leches
Bakes a day ahead and needs an overnight soak in the fridge.
This is the base recipe: one batch, 10 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because there is no committed plan for this dish. Build and commit a plan that includes it and this card multiplies itself to the batch count the plan computes.
- Flour10.6 oz
- Eggs5 ea
- Evaporated milk1.25 cups
- Condensed milk1.25 cups
- Cream, whipping0.75 cups
Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.
- Cooking time
- 35 minutes in the oven, whatever fraction of the tray is filled. A half-full tray browns faster, so look at it sooner rather than trusting the clock.
- Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for pastel de tres leches, not a certified kitchen test.
- Amounts below are one batch: 10 portions. Build a plan and this card scales itself to it.
- This dish can be completed up to 2 days ahead. Cold storage is the real limit — do not make it ahead if the fridge is already tight.
- Oven occupancy is 35 minutes per tray. Do not start this tray if the day-of oven window is already full.
- Season, tray up, roast, rest. Hold only as long as the fixture hold time.
- Holds about 240 minutes once finished. After that, quality drops — do not invent extra time.
- Confirm every ingredient and every allergen yourself. Dietary tags are planning filters, not safety guarantees.
Can be completed up to 2 days ahead. Fridge units: 2 per batch, so 1 batch takes about 2 shelf-thirds while it waits.
Base recipe: one batch, 10 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because no plan was open. Cooking time does not move with the batch: 35 minutes in the oven either way.
Not every line here was multiplied by the same number. Why doubling a recipe is not multiplication
