Tres Leches Square is a rich and indulgent dessert rooted in Latin American cuisine, particularly popular in Mexico and Central America. Its name translates to "three milks," referencing the blend of whole milk, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk used to soak the sponge cake. This process creates its signature moist and creamy texture. The cake is often topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or fresh fruits for added flavor. While Tres Leches Squares offer a delightful treat, their calorie content is substantial due to the high sugar and fat levels from the dairy and sweeteners. They are best enjoyed in moderation. On the bright side, the milk base provides a source of calcium and protein. This decadent dessert delivers a taste of tradition and comfort, perfect for special occasions or indulgent moments.
