I didn’t want to show my hand, but off the record, I’ve experimented with Norwegian beaver milk and Mongolian camel milk to achieve in vitro samples of sesenta y tres leches. Admittedly, it’s highly unstable and there have been casualties. Such is the price of progress.
That’s a good point. It seems to be an infinite series that should converge on one value of leche. If we solve for that, we should be able to make the ultimate torta de leche, which, paradoxically, is made with only one supreme leche.
Definitely dinstinct leches. Also plant milks: almond, oat, coconut. Coconut cream should also count IMO. Then there is condensed coconut milk as well.
I think we can go a lot further.
Common milk producers:
Cow
Bison
Goat
Sheep
Horse
Yak
Reindeer
Common milk types:
Evaporated
Condensed
Powdered
Whole
2%
1%
Skim
By my count, we should be able to do at least cuarenta y nueve leches. Are we even trying?
Are you?
If we count whole, 2%, 1%, and skim as 4 distinct leches, what’s to stop us from creating a gradient of leches ranging from 0% to 3.25% milk fat?

Wouldn’t that make one giant 1.625% milk?

What about condensed milk or powdered milk? Do they count as distinct leches as well?
Definitely dinstinct leches. Also plant milks: almond, oat, coconut. Coconut cream should also count IMO. Then there is condensed coconut milk as well.
I’d be suspicious of a tres leches cake made with coconut cream. Somehow, I don’t think it would taste right.
excuse me but 2%, 1% and skim are bastard milks we don’t accept those here
Oat, soy, Almond?
