Meaning “three milks,” trilece is the Albanian variation of a dessert that exists in many cultures.
Sponge cake is soaked in different types of milk, which were traditionally goat, cow and buffalo milk. Most trileces today use different types of cow milk, like evaporated milk, condensed milk and cream. But if you can find the traditional recipe, definitely give it a try.
The Albanian version differs from others in its topping, which is made of a caramel layer, rather than the soft cream one you find in Spain and Latin America.
