I asked my mom for this recipe because this is how she used to make it. Now that she's no longer with us, every time I make it and smell it, it reminds me so much of her.

Steps

30 to 40 minutes

1

Slice the bread rolls into even pieces and toast them until golden brown.
2

Grease the pot you'll use for the capirotada with butter. Add the remaining butter to the milk in a pot, then add the cloves, peppercorns, green tomatoes, cinnamon stick, onion, and butter. Heat the milk until it boils, then add the sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly so the milk doesn't scorch.
3

Arrange the toasted bread in the pot and pour the milk mixture over it, straining out the solids.
4

Decorate your capirotada with your choice of walnuts, almonds, raisins, shredded coconut, plantain, peanuts, prunes, or cheese—these last ingredients are optional and up to your preference.
5

Once assembled, cover the pot with aluminum foil and a lid. Bake in the oven for about 5 minutes, or cook on the stovetop for about 10 minutes. Your capirotada is ready—it's a delicious dessert.
