What Are Tres Leches Cinnamon Rolls

Tres Leche is a dessert popular in Latin American cuisine. It's a sponge cake soaked in three different kinds of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream. This soaking process makes the cake incredibly moist and rich in flavor, often topped with whipped cream or fruit.

When it comes to cinnamon rolls, I am using the idea behind tres leche to make incredible cinnamon rolls. It's a great technique for cinnamon rolls because it adds moisture and richness to the dough, making the rolls extra tender and flavorful. The combination of milks also provides a creamy texture that complements the cinnamon flavor beautifully, creating a deliciously indulgent treat.
