Questions

Can I make Majarete dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1.5 cups evaporated milk. Swap the evaporated milk for a plant-based version of the same product. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Majarete keep?

Keep it covered in the refrigerator and eat it within three days.

Can I halve or double Majarete?

Yes. As written it serves 6. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, blend in batches rather than overfilling the jar.
