Postre is masculine because it derives from the Latin "posterum" (the neuter accusative form of "posterus"), which evolved into a masculine noun in Spanish. While the Latin adjective "posterus" is masculine, the noun "postre" actually comes from the neuter form used substantively, but was regendered as masculine in Spanish following typical patterns of noun gender evolution.
