Capirotada | Mexican Bread Pudding

Capirotada, also known as 'capirotada de vigilia' (Lent capirotada) is a traditional Mexican bread pudding served during Lent, particularly on Good Friday.

This dish was served by my mother every Christmas. It was a big hit! This bead pudding is lovely with the texture of walnuts and the taste of cinnamon. This may be served warm or cold.
