Why It Works

Malty, rich, and delicious. Read the Whole Story
  • Cajeta itself sweetens and flavors the cream, so no added sugar or vanilla is needed.
Special equipment:
Stand mixer with whisk attachment, or balloon whisk
Notes:

Leftover cajeta can be used as a sauce or as a filling for tender alfajores.

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces chilled Cajeta Casera (1/4 cup; 85g) (see note above)
  • 6 ounces heavy whipping cream (3/4 cup; 170g)
  • Pinch of salt

Directions

  1. 1.

    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine cajeta, cream, and salt. Mix on low to combine, then increase to medium-high and whip to desired consistency, about 5 minutes for stiff peaks. Alternatively, this can be done by hand using a balloon whisk. Cajeta whipped cream can be refrigerated up to 1 week in an airtight container.
