Mexican bread pudding – better known as capirotada – is a bread pudding that’s anything unlike any other, made with crusty bread layered with rich cheese before being drenched in a sweet syrup and baked. And while the Easter holiday wouldn’t be the same without a large pan of capirotada served as dessert, it has become a welcome addition to the traditional Mexican Christmas menu, comforting and completely addictive with its salty-sweet appeal.
