nut-tres-leches-cake

This rich dessert may have been born in the late nineteenth century or early twentieth century, as the condensed milk and evaporated were available for the first time in the 1850s to 1870. It is a cold dessert, tasty and easy to make and consists of a cake bathed in three types of milk, evaporated milk, cream and condensed milk that give it its name. Is usually accompanied with a meringue of egg whites. The decor may vary depending on the diner’s taste but is often topped with cinnamon.
