Cajeta is a thick, dark syrup made from caramelized sugar and milk--most often goat’s milk--and is used in Mexico and in some South American countries as a dessert or as a topping for ice cream or fruit. The caramel sauce used in this smoothie is not as rich as cajeta but mimics its intensely rich flavor when blended with the other ingredients.
1/2 to 2/3 cup milk
1 cup partially frozen diced bananas
3 tablespoons Caramel Sauce
1/2 cup caramel or favorite vanilla ice cream, or pralines and cream ice cream
Place all the ingredients in a blender and mix by using the on/off pulse function until the ingredients are mostly blended. Continue mixing, gradually increasing the speed, until the mixture is smooth. Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with a Cinnamon Wonton Crisp (see Great Garnishes), if desired.
