Which Mexican caramel sauce is made from goat's milk?

The Mexican caramel sauce made from goat’s milk is cajeta.

Cajeta is a thick, sweet confection made by slowly cooking goat’s milk with sugar until it caramelizes. The extended cooking process creates its golden-brown color, concentrated flavor, and spoon-coating texture. It is one of Mexico’s best-known milk-based sweets and is especially associated with the city of Celaya in Guanajuato.

Traditional cajeta may be flavored with cinnamon, vanilla, or other ingredients. It is poured over desserts, spread on bread or cookies, used as a filling for pastries, and paired with fruits, ice cream, or flan. Some versions are made with a mixture of goat’s and cow’s milk, while commercial products may use cow’s milk alone.

Cajeta is often compared with dulce de leche, which is generally made from cow’s milk. The two are related caramelized-milk confections, but the milk source is the classic distinction. Cajeta’s goat’s milk gives it a more distinctive, slightly tangy flavor and helps make it recognizable in Mexican cuisine.
