About

Although this dish consists of a simple combination of a few ingredients, it makes a most delicious dessert. Most South American cuisines have their own version of this Spanish milk pudding. The Chilean version is accompanied by a rich caramel, which adds a special touch to both the taste and the appearance. Leche asada is a much-loved favourite throughout the country.
