Back when I first developed my recipe for cajeta, I stumbled onto this ice cream as a way to polish off my infinite supply of leftovers. "Leftover" cajeta may not be a thing in your world, but it's well worth making a batch for the sole purpose of churning up this silky eggless ice cream.
Why It Works
Rich, creamy, and intense. Read the Whole Story- Protein-rich cajeta keeps this ice cream silky-smooth without any eggs at all.
- Thanks to its concentrated flavor, cajeta packs a punch despite the addition of milk and cream.
- No need to ripen this eggless ice cream; it's ready to churn as soon as it's cold.
Ingredients
