Name of a mexican dessert?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Mexican Dessert Recipes


I had the most AMAZING dessert from a mexican bakery today BUT want to know the name of it so i can look up a recipe for it. It was a circular sweet, dense bread filled with white pudding. The pudding was exposed on the top, which leads me to believe that the pudding was baked when the bread was too. Can anyone help with the name situation??? thanks <3
it for sure was NOT a churro. it was a circular loaf of bread about 8 inches in diameter. if ur looking down at the bread theres a scoop of the pudding right in the middle about 4 inches in diameter. the bread was really sweet and im assuming the pudding was egg based

You might be talking about the Mexican pastry CONCHAS ( conchas are sea shell). They have different king and different color topping/flavor.

Pan dulce (means Pan = bread, dulce = sweet = Sweet Bread) are a category of Mexican pastry sweet bread – The one you are looking for specifically is called Conchas.

    Capirotada
    This is sort of the Mexican version of bread pudding. According to Jane Milton the dessert was originally created to use up leftovers before the Lenten fast.

    I N G R E D I E N T S
    1 small loaf crusty bread, a few days old
    1/2 – 1/3 cup butter, softened (plus some for greasing the pan)
    scant 1 cup brown sugar (or piloncillo, crushed)
    1 stick canela (cinnamon)
    1 2/3 cup water
    3 tablespoons dry sherry
    3/4 cup sliced almonds (plus a bit more for garnish)
    1/2 cup raisins
    1 cup grated Monterey Jack or mild Cheddar cheese
    light cream for serving

    I N S T R U C T I O N S
    Slice the bread about 1/2" thick. Lightly butter the bread on both sides and fry a few pieces at a time in a warmed pan as you would French Toast, browning each slice on both sides. Set the cooked slices aside.

    Place the sugar or piloncillo, canela and water in a saucepan. Heat gently stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes without stirring. Remove the canela stick and stir in the sherry.

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8" square baking dish with butter. Layer the bread, almonds, raisins and cheese in the dish, pour on the syrup letting it soak into the bread. Bake the pudding for about 30 minutes until golden brown.

    Remove the dish from the oven, let stand at least 5 minutes, cut into squares. Serve the pudding cold with cream pour on top and garnished with more sliced almonds.

    Ingredients:
    •1 tablespoon or one package dry yeast
    •1 tablespoon sugar
    •1/3 cup sugar
    •2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
    •1 teaspoon salt
    •1/2 cup lukewarm water
    •3 1/2 cups flour
    •4 eggs, beaten and at room temperature
    •Topping (please see below)
    Preparation:
    Mix 1 tablespoon of sugar and yeast into lukewarm water. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
    In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Slowly add in eggs, salt, and the yeast in the water. Add flour in, 1 cup at a time until incorporated. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.

    Divide dough into 16 pieces and shape each into a ball. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet with plenty of space between each dough ball. Press each ball slightly to flatten it. Let the dough rise fo

    It was probably a custard filled pan dulce. " Pan Dulce Con Crema De Vainilla" The crust sounds too breadlike to be an empanada.
