Recipe Reviews
friederike from Berlin,
Like Deb, I used goat's milk and made cajeta, not dulce de leche - goat's milk is delicious!
Nice, but unfortunately it took quite a while longer until the milk turned to a caramel-brown colour than the recipe described; and once it was dark enough to be filled into a jar, it would have been way to hard when cooled down! What I did was that at that point I added quite a bit of goat's milk until I got the consistency I wanted.
Also, I added a vanilla pod and a cinnamon stick - unfortunately, the cajeta took on way too much cinnamon flavour. Next time I would recommend using only the vanilla pod.
I made the cajeta to use with these Pineapple and Banana Crepes, but honestly, a simple caramel sauce would have sufficed as well.
