About Tres letches

Tres Leches, meaning "Three Milks" in Spanish, is a decadent Latin American dessert with origins debated between Mexico and Central America. This moist cake is typically made by soaking a sponge or butter cake in a mixture of three types of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream. It’s topped with whipped cream, which adds to its rich flavor and creamy texture. While it’s a delicious treat, Tres Leches is high in sugar, saturated fats, and calories due to its milk mixture and sweet toppings, making it best enjoyed in moderation. On the positive side, its dairy content provides a source of calcium and protein, which contribute to bone health. A small portion can satisfy sweet cravings without overindulgence. Tres Leches is perfect for special occasions and is beloved for its smooth, melt-in-your-mouth consistency.
