Capirotada De Leche Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine water, 2 cups brown sugar, and cinnamon sticks together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and liquid has reduced into a syrup, about 15 minutes. Remove cinnamon sticks from syrup using a slotted spoon.
• Spread butter onto each toasted bread slice. Make 1 layer of buttered bread in a deep casserole dish or oven-proof stockpot. Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves over bread layer. Sprinkle 1/4 the raisins, 1/4 the peanuts, 1/4 the remaining brown sugar, and 1/4 the Cheddar cheese over bread layer. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients. Pour cinnamon syrup over entire dish; cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Mix 1 cup milk and cornstarch in a bowl until no lumps remain.
• Combine remaining 3 cups milk in a large pan with cinnamon stick and vanilla bean. Stir in milk-cornstarch mixture. Hold an egg yolk over the bowl and break its skin to release the inner yolk into the bowl; discard the skin. Repeat to add remaining yolks and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, and add condensed milk. Taste to see if it's sweet enough; if not, add sugar. Cook and stir until it's thick like a yogurt drink, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Remove and discard cinnamon stick and vanilla bean.
• Grease a 9x13-inch pan with butter. Slice dinner rolls into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
• Making about 3 or 4 layers in the prepared pan, start with a layer of bread. Cover bread with some of the milk mixture, but don't overdo it. Decorate with pecans, raisins, coconut, and sprinkles. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used up. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
