Latin American Classic With a Twist | Cornbread Tres Leches | Pastries with Paola

This week executive pastry chef Paola Velez is sharing her cornbread tres leches recipe with you, complete with a demo of her super cool immersion blender! This rule-breaking dessert adds some acidic notes to the cornbread base with the unexpected additions of lemon juice and labneh (Greek yogurt). Combining the savory of cornmeal with the sweetness of the 3-milk milk soak and whipped cream, Paola demonstrates how this dish perfectly encapsulates a Latin culinary concept called “empalagar” which means “to overwhelm the palate with sweetness,” so it’s sweet, savory, and of course, VERY satisfying. #Latin #Dessert #Recipe #PastrieswithPaola #FoodandWine 00:00 Introduction 00:55 Mix together dry ingredients 01:17 Mix together wet ingredients 02:25 Combine wet and dry ingredients 03:02 Spray and pour into pan 03:39 Making the soak 04:33 Cut cornbread into pieces 05:02 Pour soak over cornbread 05:22 Cover and refrigerate overnight 05:32 Whipped Cream 05:59 Final Result Read the article: https://www.foodandwine.com/cooking-techniques/pastries-with-paola-cornbread-tres-leches-cake Get the full recipe for Cornbread Tres Leches Cake: https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/cornbread-tres-leches-cake You might know James Beard Award finalist Paola Velez as the executive pastry chef at Compass Rose, La Bodega Bakery, and Maydān, or as the co-founder of Bakers Against Racism, but now you’ll know her as the host of “Pastries with Paola” for Food and Wine!
