About Leche asada

Leche Asada is a popular dessert from Chilean cuisine, celebrated throughout Latin America for its simple yet rich flavors. Made primarily from milk, sugar, eggs, and vanilla, this dish is baked to create a caramelized, custard-like texture with a lightly browned top. Its origins lie in resourceful home cooking, utilizing everyday ingredients to craft a sweet, comforting treat. While Leche Asada is a delicious source of protein due to the eggs and milk, it’s worth noting that it can be high in sugar and fats, making moderation key for those monitoring their diet. Variations may include a sprinkle of cinnamon or citrus zest to enhance flavor naturally. Ideal for satisfying cravings or rounding off a meal, Leche Asada strikes a balance between indulgence and simplicity, appealing to dessert lovers of all ages.
