No tengo muy claro de qué postre se trata. ¿Puede ser cortado de leche?

¿Cómo se podría traducir?

I think cortado here refers to a coffee
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortado

There weren’t many hits for Jamaican cortado

agree  Marcelo González: Since evidence suggests it may be something unique to this restaurant, calling it "Jamaican cortado" would be a good, simple option, as it would produce an 'equivalent effect' of leaving the mystery intact, which is not a bad idea for a menu item. ;))

(Purportedly) 'Jamaican-style' Caribbean macchiato dessert


Explanation:
'Everybody knows what a cortado is.. '. No. They don't. Only Spanish restaurants and tapas bars in the UK in general and in the Greater London area in particular, know what it n Spanish. Otherwise, I order an Italian-type macchiato coffee as the 'nearest equivalent' as this is understood, also incidentally in Spanish establishments.

I have read and absorbed Taña D.'s ref. whilst (note the conjunction, English purists) can find the Caribbean macchiato in German only.

Reference information:
As a Jamaican, I thought I would chime in here. I must say that I have not heard of "Jamaican cortado", and I am a coffee drinker. I have tasted the "cortado" which others have stated is a coffee drink and not a dessert. Why they would use "Jamaican", I have no clue, but I have some ideas.

https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Cortado

I can only assume that: 1) the type of coffee used is "Blue Mountain Coffee" which is one of the best in the world and quite expensive. https://www.muggswigz.com/mugg-s-buzz/27-coffee-growing/97-w... (We receive this question somewhat frequently since we serve Jamaican Blue. The price of JBM is high because of supply and demand. The supply of JMB is low because space on those Blue Mountains is limited, and demand is high because JBM coffee is is unique and tasty. First lets look at the supply side of it. Jamaican Blue Mountain is unfortunately one of the rarest coffees in the world. The coffee must be grown on the eastern part of the island of Jamaica on the Blue Mountains in the parishes of Portland, St. Andrew, and St. Thomas between 2,000 to 5,000 ft. , and come from one of the five certified estates. The climate and environment in that area is a big part of what makes JBM so delicious, and the area with this climate, and space to grow coffee on it, is little. Of the five certified estates, Wallenford and Mavis Bank are the most prominent, then there is Old tavern, Silver Hill and Moy Hall which is a co-op created from the older farms. Also, keeping in mind that Jamaica is a very minor coffee producing nation, only 15% of Jamaican coffee is authentic JBM. Of the JBM that is produced, the majority is exported to Japan.

Now to the demand part of the equation. Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee can taste very good. It is extremely well -balanced in flavor, with an excellent body and a nice medium acidity (rare in coffees with such a nice body). JBM is smooth, clean, balanced, sweet, and mild. Our JBM from the Wallenford estate also has pleasant nutty-cocoa-herby notes. The coffee is delicious, thus demand is high. Even though coffee is a commodity (second only to oil), in the case on JBM I feel that the price is slightly over-inflated because of factors other than its quality and its supply. The JBM name has an ultra-premium feel (it is the only coffee shipped in barrels, not bags) such ultra-premium products often have a somewhat inflated price. The question I usually get after why JBM is so expensive is "Is it worth it?". To which I normally reply that yes, it is worth it if you enjoy and are in the mood for a full-bodied, medium-light roasted, smooth, clean, balanced, sweet, mild cup of coffee with a medium acidity. We offer JBM Per cup or pound and if you see JBM much less expensive then that, it is most likely not 100% certified JBM, be sure to read the label.).

Arabica coffee loves the nitrogen and phosphorus-rich soil of Jamaica and nowhere else better than the steep elevations of the Blue Mountains. Located north of Kingston on the eastern side of the island, the Blue Mountains rise to elevations of 2,350 metres. The bean cultivated is mostly Arabica Typica.

Even as a Jamaican, we can rarely find the true 100% Blue Mountain Coffee, and if you do, it is incredibly expensive. What we as consumers get most of the time is a blend.

If rum is used, I would expect that it would be one of the Appleton brands (J Wray and Nephew), and while not a rum drinker, it is a superb rum. https://www.crownwineandspirits.com/brands/Appleton-Rum.html

If the rum cream is used, the likelihood is the Sangster's brand, also an excellent product: https://www.my-island-jamaica.com/sangsters_rum_cream.html

Your link "cortado de leche" and the term requested "cortado jamaicano" do not match up.

Cortado de leche https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dulce_de_leche is not a Jamaican dessert in the least, and is more Latin American or South American.

I believe this is it. It looks like some kind of coffee topped with the whipped mascarpone. The coffee ice cream is served on the side.

I see I've actually posted two different photos, but they both fit the description. I think it's an in-house invention.
