How to Make Mexican Cajeta Caramel Crepes

  1. In a medium-sized frying pan, melt 1/2 cup of Mexican cajeta (or dulce de leche) over medium heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of rum (optional).
  2. Bring the cajeta mixture to a gentle boil and simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  3. Gently dip 6-8 small corn or flour tortillas, one at a time, into the warm cajeta mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Avoid over-soaking.
  4. Fold each tortilla in half, then in half again to create a quarter-circle shape.
  5. Arrange two folded tortillas on each serving plate.
  6. Top each serving with a generous scoop (approximately 1/2 cup) of coffee ice cream.
  7. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of shredded coconut per serving.
