Apparently Jennifer Lopez's restaurant also serves it. At least if it's not as good as what she's used to in COL she can have the novelty of JLo's Puerto Rican version.

cam I think its different but its still very good milky and delicious.

Plus seriously just the fact that you try to get that for her is the most romantic thing :)

Good luck on the celebration!

Really A Central American... original. Lots of supermarkets in Florida sell it as do panaderias/markets in Colombia. Never heard of the choice of various fruit toppings in the original. Not very hard to make at home. While were were making the apartmento hunt in Santa Marta I had a chocolate tres leche that was dynamite-better than in Nicaragua or Costa Rica. The keys is the cake not the topping. The cake must be porous enough to absorb the liquid. Example-pound cake won't do-it is too dense and the topping just runs off without going into the cake itself..
