Remy Arce
: as Puerto Rican, and a fan of this dessert, I can attest that this is the correct translation. It is becoming very popular among English-speakers to call it "tres leches" without translating the term, and this is the way you usually find it labelled.

Rick Larg
: If 'myrecipes.com' (and the other 36,500 Google Advanced Search hits) calls it 3 milk cake that's good enough for me! Must try it!
