Cook Time 1 hour

Ingredients

For The Syrup

  • 5 cups Water
  • 2-3 Piloncillo
  • 4 Cloves
  • 1/2 Roma Tomato
  • 1/2 Tomatillo + Skin of Tomatillo
  • 1 Peeling of Onion
  • 3 Cinnamon Sticks
  • 2/3 cup Almonds Whole
  • 2/3 cup Pecans

Bread

  • 1 loaf Whole Grain Bread or Sourdough

Toppings + Fillings

  • 1 cup Coconut Unsweetened
  • 1 cup Raisins
  • 1/3 cup Sprinkles
  • 2/3 cup Unsalted Peanuts
  • 1/3 cup Sliced Almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

    In a stockpot boil water, cinnamon sticks, tomato, tomatillo, tomatillo peelings, onion peelings, and cloves over medium high heat for about 15 minutes

  2. Once it's boiling add the piloncillo, almonds, and pecans, and boil for another 15 minutes until piloncillo is completely melted

  3. While syrup is boiling cut the bread and start toasting in the oven for about 8 minutes on each side.

  4. Once the bread is toasted and the syrup is finished start assembling your pudding. Spray with coconut oil a baking dish; 9x11 inches is the one I use.

  5. Layer with bread, then sprinkle peanuts, raisins, coconut shavings and syrup over the bread, and continue this another 2-3 times. Since I used whole grain bread make sure you are generous with the syrup.

  6. Cover with foil, and bake for 30-40 minutes. Once baked add sprinkles and more coconut shavings.

  7. enjoy warm with cafecito y familia
