How to Make Real Mexican Cajeta Goat's Milk Caramel Or Dulce De Leche

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine the goat milk, sugar, and baking soda.
  2. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture begins to simmer.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir frequently, scraping down the sides of the pan as needed, to prevent sticking and burning.
  4. Simmer gently for approximately 4-6 minutes, or until the mixture reaches a rich caramel color and thickens to a desired consistency. The cajeta will continue to thicken as it cools.
  5. Remove from heat and immediately pour the cajeta into a heatproof bowl or jar.
  6. Allow to cool completely before serving or storing. The cajeta will thicken further as it cools.
