Cajeta Gelatin
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin, or one-quarter of a 1-ounce package
- One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
- 1 3/4 cup cajeta or caramel
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- Fresh raspberries, for garnish
- Sprinkle the gelatin in 1/2 cup water.
- Let stand about 2 minutes to soften.
- Microwave on high for 45 seconds.
- Stir for 15 seconds, until the gelatin is dissolved.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the evaporated milk until hot, making sure not to boil.
- Whisk in the cajeta until smooth and evenly incorporated.
- Stir in the gelatin mixture to the cajeta mixture and turn the heat off to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the cream cheese and beat on medium speed while slowly adding 1/3 cup of the cajeta cream to temper the cream cheese and avoid curdling or separation.
- Gradually add the remaining cajeta cream and continue beating until smooth.
- Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and beat again until fully incorporated and frothy.
- Strain the cream into a glass pitcher or into a 4-cup liquid measure, maintaining as much froth as possible.
- Pour 1 cup of the cream into each of the 4 wine glasses.
- Garnish with 3 to 5 fresh raspberries (the raspberries will remain afloat in the froth).
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
