Crock Pot Tres Leches Bread Pudding is just the dessert for Cinco de Mayo. It’s so moist and rich and a vanilla sauce drizzled on top gives it extra sweetness.
Crock Pot Tres Leches Bread Pudding only needs 4 hours on LOW to cook in the slow cooker. This is a warm and indulgent dessert for when you don’t want to turn the oven on. It tastes even better served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tres leches Cake is one of my favorite desserts. Since it is such a moist dessert, it lends itself perfectly to bread pudding form. Tres leches Bread Pudding is actually easier to make than Tres Leches Cake. Just cut up some French bread and pour a mixture of sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract over it in the crock pot.
It cooks up a little crispy around the edges. Such an easy dessert to throw together for a crowd.

Would I still want day old bread or does that matter here in this particular recipe?
Yes, it is best to use stale bread.

Can this be doubled in one crockpot?
I am a bread pudding junkie. This recipe is amazing. I brought it to a bowling party and it received many raves for consistency and flavor.
Made this for a work party and they would have licked the cricked pot if I let them! Great recipe! Thanks for sharing
