Crumbl Cookies Review #83 - Eggnog Tres Leches Cake

Crumbl Cookies Review #83 - Eggnog Tres Leches Cake, visited December 9, 2024

I actually have been baking and have a new recipe to post shortly but I want to get this post up while the Eggnog Tres Leches Cake is still available at Crumbl (until tomorrow, Saturday) this week.

As I mentioned in a previous post, Crumbl does a lot of these "product extensions" by offering a different flavor on an existing product that's done well. There's the original Tres Leches Cake then they did a Cookie Butter Tres Leches Cake and now there's an eggnog version.

Eggnog Tres Leches Cake

I'm not a big fan of eggnog. The flavor is okay but it's the texture of somewhere between heavy cream and whole milk that makes me shudder. Not my thing. But since I wasn't drinking straight eggnog and it was only used to soak into the cake itself, I thought this might be a safe bet.

And it was. Crumbl has nailed the tres leches cake pretty well. I still prefer the original version over the other two but this one was fine. It didn't have a strong eggnog flavor so true eggnog lovers might be a little disappointed. But for those of us who prefer "eggnog-lite", this is a decent rendition. The cake was perfectly soaked in the eggnog without being soppy and it definitely wasn't dry. If this was the original version, I could (and have) eaten the whole thing over the course of a day. This one? I ate maybe 20% of it and was fine putting the rest in the freezer for later. This one had a 99-cent upcharge over the single cookie price at my Crumbl. I'm glad I tried it but I wouldn't get multiples like I probably would have with the original Tres Leches.
