About Tres leches

Tres Leches is a traditional Latin American dessert, originating from Mexico and popular across the region. The name translates to "three milks," referring to the mixture of whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk used to soak the sponge cake base. This indulgent treat is known for its rich, moist texture and is typically topped with whipped cream and sometimes fresh fruit. While Tres Leches is loved for its decadent flavor, it is calorie-dense and high in sugar and fat due to its dairy and sweetened components. However, it provides calcium and protein from the milk and whipped cream. For a lighter version, some recipes substitute lower-fat milk or reduce the sugar content. Tres Leches is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
