By swapping out some classic ingredients for healthier alternatives, this keto tres leches cake recipe keeps the carb count much lower than the traditional version.<\/p>\n<p>Worried about not satisfying your sweet tooth? Although this may be a healthy tres leches, it still has the signature flavors and unmistakable mouthfeel of one made in abuela&#8217;s kitchen. Whether you savor a slice on its own or you <a target=\"_blank\" data-parsed=\"internal, recipes exception\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletproof.com\/recipes\/bulletproof-diet-recipes\/bulletproof-coffee-recipe\/\">make a Bulletproof Coffee<\/a> to go along with this tasty treat, this is one of those <a target=\"_blank\" data-parsed=\"internal, recipes exception\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletproof.com\/recipes\/\">keto recipes<\/a> that will leave you speechless&#8230; yet signaling for a second slice.<\/p>\n<h2>Keto tres leches ingredients<\/h2>\n<p>What goes into a keto-friendly tres leches cake? In this case, a combination of blanched almond and coconut flours, along with a few other recognizable baking ingredients, like eggs, butter and baking soda, help form a low-carb cake base.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the star of the show is the keto version of tres leches, which translates to\u00a0 &#8220;three milks&#8221; in Spanish. Coconut cream, <a target=\"_blank\" data-parsed=\"shop\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.bulletproof.com\/products\/complete-daily-energy-vanilla-protein-17-8-oz\">Bulletproof Vanilla Bean Collagen Protein<\/a>, monk fruit and vanilla extract form a sweet, silky, sin-free mixture that&#8217;s ready to be soaked up by the cake itself.\u2020<\/p>\n<p>And as long as you have <a target=\"_blank\" data-parsed=\"shop\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.bulletproof.com\/products\/enhanced-creamer-french-vanilla-14-8-oz\">Bulletproof French Vanilla Creamer<\/a> on hand, all you&#8217;ll need is additional coconut cream and vanilla to create a whipped cream topping that&#8217;ll finish off this keto tres leches in style.<\/p>\n<h2>How to make a healthy tres leches cake<\/h2>\n<p>Tres leches cake is essentially a sponge cake that\u2019s soaked in sweetened milk and topped with whipped cream. Because dairy (with the exception of grass-fed butter and ghee) isn\u2019t Bulletproof-friendly, that makes the traditional version a less-than-ideal choice. Plus, a standard tres leches cake you might buy in a store contains far too much sugar for keto dieters.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of going with a high-carb, high-sugar dessert that doesn&#8217;t support your macros, you can make a healthified tres leches cake that contains ingredients that provide better nutritional value. Controlling what goes into your body is key, so why not take baking into your own hands and create something from scratch that&#8217;s lower in sugar, higher in quality fats and contains collagen protein?<\/p>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-900064658\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"900064658\" data-servings=\"14\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe

We recommend slicing the cake into portion-sized squares and freezing one packaged piece for easy access and thawing.<\/p>\n<h3>Is this recipe for tres leches low carb?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely. The recipe was actually developed as a keto adaptation, which means it is low in carbohydrates by default. One slice contains just 8 grams of<em>\u00a0<\/em>net carbs.<\/p>\n<h3>Is this a total sugar free tres leches recipe?<\/h3>\n<p>While the recipe is free of refined sugar, there are naturally occurring sugars from specific ingredients.<\/p>\n<h3>Is this cake gluten free?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, this cake is 100% gluten-free.<\/p>\n<h3>How long will the cake last in the fridge?<\/h3>\n<p>The cake should always be refrigerated; however, it is best if consumed within 48 hours. If you do not think you will finish or serve the cake within a two-day timeframe, we recommend freezing it.<\/p>\n<h3>Can the batter be mixed by hand? Or is a mixer required?<\/h3>\n<p>We recommend using a hand mixer for the finest batter results.<\/p>\n<h3>How &#8220;healthy&#8221; is this tres leches recipe?<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cHealthy\u201d is subjective based on your personal diet goals. However, we consider this keto tres leches to be a \u201chealthier\u201d version compared to the traditional recipe, because it contains 15 grams of carbohydrates, 12 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar, whereas a standard potion of tres leches can contain up to 34 grams of carbs, only 1 gram of protein and 28 grams of sugar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tantalize your taste buds with a Latin American treat that doesn&#8217;t have nearly the amount of sugar you&#8217;d expect from a decadent dessert.
