Trileçe (Albanian: Trileqe or Tortë me qumësh, Turkish: Trileçe, Serbo-Croatian: Trileće) is a popular dessert in Southeastern Europe, particularly in Albania, Serbia and Turkey and other Balkan countries. It consists of a light sponge cake soaked in a mixture of three types of milk (evaporated milk, condensed milk and whole milk), which gives it its name—derived from the Spanish tres leches (three milks), a dessert popular in Latin America. Trileçe tends to be lighter and less sweet than tres leches, due primarily to differences in milks used.
