Tres Leches Galore!
Caramel Tres Leches Cake ($4.95)
Cupcakes, bite-sized pastries and anything with Nutella are recent trending treats in Chicago. But located on the lower west side of the Windy City in Pilsen is Kristoffer's Cafe (www.kristofferscafe.com), a hidden gem bakery with traditional Hispanic sweets. Legendary Mexican Cuisine Chef Rick Bayless--owner of several successful restaurants in Chicago including Frontera Grill, Topolobampo, XOCO, Frontera Fresco and Tortas Frontera--named Kristoffer's tres leches cake the best he'd ever eaten. Besides the traditional vanilla, four uncommon flavored tres leches cakes based on a family recipe reveal a surprisingly light and creamy texture and a burst of freshness and flavor that transport you back to authentic Mexico.
