Stop what you are doing and make this Peppermint Chocolate Chip Tres Leches Cake! OMG! SO good!! The idea for this cake came from Chicken Legs. We L-O-V-E the peppermint chocolate chip milkshake at Chick-fil-a. He was enjoying a shake and said I need to put those flavors in a tres leches cake. Brilliant!
You will want to make this Peppermint Chocolate Chip Tres Leches Cake a day in advance. The cake needs time to absorb all the milks. Hold off on adding any crushed peppermints to the top of the cake until you are ready to serve. The crushed peppermints may bleed into the whipped cream if you add them too early.
This Peppermint Chocolate Chip Tres Leches Cake is dangerously delicious! Chicken Legs had ZERO self-control with this cake in the house. He had to throw most of it away when I tested the recipe to avoid eating the whole cake himself. He has requested this Peppermint Chocolate Chip Tres Leches Cake for our Christmas dinner dessert. Can't wait!
