Tres Leches

A Tres Leches with Mango is a tropical twist on the classic Latin American dessert. This indulgent cake is soaked in a rich, creamy blend of three milks—evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream—making it incredibly moist and luscious. Topped with a layer of fresh, juicy mango slices, the sweetness of the fruit contrasts beautifully with the cake's rich, milky texture. The bright color and tropical flavor of the mango add a refreshing and vibrant touch to this decadent dessert, making it the perfect treat for any occasion.
