It’s that time of the year again summer season is officially here! And what better way to celebrate than with some delicious mango desserts? I have a special treat for you today: the ultimate Mango Lassi Tres Leches Cake (three milk cake).
This recipe puts a fun and tasty twist on the traditional Tres Leches cake. We use a delightful mango lassi mixture instead of the usual three-milk mixture. And to make it even more delectable, we’re topping it off with a delicious mango whipped cream. I’m sure your taste buds are tingling with anticipation, so let’s dive right in and get started!

I’ve had this craving to make mango desserts for a couple of weeks now. With mangoes being in season, I know they won’t be around for long. While experimenting with traditional recipes like mango cheesecake, I’ve been receiving numerous requests for Tres Leches cakes. That’s when it struck me, why not create a mango Tres Leches cake? I discovered that many Mango Tres Leches recipes only include mango on the cake’s surface, not within.
I decided to switch things up by incorporating mango lassi, a delightful beverage from India and Pakistan made with mangoes and yogurt, for a unique twist. This cake is perfect in every way: 1. The texture is so moist and delicious. 2. The mango flavor stands out. 3. Both the whipped cream and cake have a delightful mango taste.
