What you need

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cajeta Casera (Goat's Milk Caramel), see recipe above
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 1/2 cups whole goat's milk
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Pour the cajeta into a 9-inch round baking pan or individual ramekins, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
  2. Whisk the eggs and egg yolks together, then whisk in the goat's milk, condensed milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Strain the custard over the cajeta layer.
  4. Place the pan in a larger baking dish and add hot water halfway up the sides. Bake 45-50 minutes, until just set with a slight jiggle in the center.
  5. Cool, then chill at least 4 hours. To serve, run a knife around the edge and invert onto a serving plate so the caramel cascades over the top.
