The Tastiest Trés Leches in Egypt - A SceneEats Guide

Over the past month, we’ve heard the name of a certain Latin American dessert get butchered over and over in screaming TikTok food reviews. Trés leches this, trés leches that - we couldn’t help but investigate what brought about this milk-obsessed craze onto our lactose-intolerant tummies.

What is essentially a light sponge cake drenched in three types of milk - evaporated, condensed and whole - has grown to encompass colour wheels of flavour: from chocolate to pistachio to saffron. And so, for your consuming pleasure, we’ve compiled this guide to the tastiest trés lech-ing in Egypt.
