A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TRES LECHES
The origins of the beloved Tres Leches cake are as rich and varied as its flavors. While its roots are undeniably in Latin America, pinning down its exact birthplace is a delicious mystery. Some say it’s Nicaragua, others Mexico, and some credit the Dominican Republic or the Cuban colony in Florida. Regardless, all agree that this dessert, known for its unique three-milk syrup, originated in Central America or the Caribbean.
From there, Tres Leches embarked on a global journey, spreading to the United States, parts of Europe, Asia Minor, the Far East, and even Australia. Its popularity soared in the 1930s, coinciding with Swiss company Nestlé’s expansion into Latin America and the introduction of products like powdered milk, sweetened condensed milk, and liquid cream.
Tres Leches is traditionally enjoyed on special occasions, adding a sweet touch to birthdays, weddings, and other celebrations. Its recipe, printed on the back of Nestlé’s product cans in the 1950s, led to an increase in the consumption of these three milk products and solidified the cake’s status as a celebration staple.
The beauty of Tres Leches lies in its versatility. Discover the different ways it can help you boost your patisserie business.
