Capirotada
If you are familiar with bread pudding, Capirotada will hit your familiar taste buds of yours. It is flavored with Mexican spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, the rich creamy flavor is attributed to the Monterey Jack Cheese and Mexican brown sugar, known as Piloncillo.
I always love adding some dried apricots, figs, chopped walnuts, and raisins to my Capirotada, but you can omit any of these if you have allergies. Use French bread instead of regular ones to make it a more hearty dessert.
