For my tres leches (three milks) cake I use coconut milk, homemade condensed coconut cream AND coconut whipped cream - which makes for one extremely decadent cake. While this gluten-free tres leches is very sweet, it's not cloying. The coconut whipped cream is lightly sweetened and complements the cake. Since almonds are a big staple in a traditional tres leches cake, I figured I would counter the extracts and nuts with Bob's Red Mill Almond flour, which worked to perfection.
