Crumbl Cookies review #84 - Cookies & Cream Tres Leches Cake, visited December 31, 2024
Remember when I talked about Crumbl's product extensions on their bestsellers? They started with the original
Tres Leches Cake, added
Cookie Butter Tres Leches and then
Eggnog Tres Leches over the holidays. This week, they extended to Cookies & Cream Tres Leches.
Of this week's offerings, I had already tried
Vanilla Crumb Cake ft Golden Oreo,
French Toast,
Pink Sugar, and the
Churro (one of my favorites).
Out of the others, the Cookies & Cream Tres Leches Cake is the only one I wanted to try. I had some reservations as I don't like whipped cream and only like it on the original Tres Leches because of the cinnamon sprinkled on top. Plus, although I love Oreos, I'm not a big cookies and cream fan.
However, I'm glad I tried this one as I liked Crumbl's version. It's really more of a moist chocolate cake and I'm not sure it's really a "true" Tres Leches as opposed to a really good, moist chocolate cake. I did end up scraping off most of the whipped cream after the first taste test bite as I didn't like it enough to consume the calories from it.
It doesn't necessarily photograph that well on the inside, at least not with my photography skills, but don't let that put you off. This is a good cake and captured that dark chocolate, Oreo-ish flavor. Although it was more dark chocolate than Oreo to me. Still, I'm not that picky with a good chocolate cake. This does have a $1.49 surcharge so it was $5.98 at my local store. Crumbl (or at least my store) has perfected the soaking of the milks. My cake was perfectly moist but not soggy or dry. It was just right. I still prefer the original Tres Leches Cake overall but this is a pretty delicious product extension.
