[Crumbl](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tres-leches-cake) is building on the success of its original Tres Leches Cake with a new Cookies & Cream Tres Leches Cake.

Available as part of the brand's rotating weekly menu for the week ending on January 4, 2025, the new Cookies & Cream Tres Leches Cake is a delicious twist on the classic sweet milk sponge cake recipe. Crumbl's new version consists of a [dark chocolate cake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brookie-pie) soaked in a sweet and milky tres leches sauce, which gives it a moist and tender texture. The whole thing is then topped with whipped cream and a chocolaty cookies and cream streusel.

Alongside the new Cookies & Cream Tres Leches Cake, the same weekly lineup will also include treats like the [Vanilla Crumb Cake Cookie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crumbl-biscoff-cake) featuring Oreo, French Toast Cookie, and more.
