Leche Poleada is a sweet milk custard made with milk, cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, gently simmered until thick and smooth. Served warm or chilled, it’s a classic Salvadoran dessert, often enjoyed on its own or used as a filling for empanadas de plátano. Especially popular in San Vicente, La Paz, and family kitchens across El Salvador, this comforting pudding is simple but deeply nostalgic.

Common variations include topping with ground cinnamon, grated coconut, or raisins.
