Pinch of salt

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine cajeta, cream, and salt. Mix on low to combine, then increase to medium-high and whip to desired consistency, about 5 minutes for stiff peaks. Alternatively, this can be done by hand using a balloon whisk. Cajeta whipped cream can be refrigerated up to 1 week in an airtight container.

Notes
