Cajeta de Celaya is a confection of thickened caramel usually made of sweetened caramelised goat's milk. It is a type of dulce de leche. In Mexico, it is considered a specialty of the city of Celaya in the state of Guanajuato.
Cajeta is made by simmering goat's milk, or occasionally a sweetened liquid, stirring frequently, until its viscosity increases due to evaporation of water, and it becomes caramelized. While goat milk is the most usual base, other liquids or juices may be used.
In Celaya, and eventually the rest of Mexico, the confection of half goat's milk and half cow's milk became known by the name cajeta. Elsewhere, the milk candy is known as leche quemada or dulce de leche. Cajeta is eaten on its own as a sweet; as a spread or filling for breads and pastries, such as churros; and as a topping for ice cream.
Certain liquors are added to special recipes called cajeta envinada. In addition, cajeta envinada especial is enriched with raisins, almonds, pecans or nuts. Often it is used as a topping for crêpes, as a sweet sauce boiled and softened down with milk to soak the crepes, resulting in a tasty dessert. It is also common to place cajeta between obleas to make a traditional Mexican candy.
