  • In a deep pot, heat 1 liter of water with the cinnamon and the 2 piloncillos; remove from heat when the piloncillos have dissolved and wait for it to cool down (to a warm temperature).
  • Spread melted butter on only one side of the bread slices and place a layer at the bottom of a glass baking dish.
  • Add a layer of peanuts, coconut, raisins, and cheese, then add another layer of bread and the nuts and cheese, forming several layers until you run out of bread and ingredients; just place the nuts on top of the capirotada and add more cheese.
  • Pour the liquid from the piloncillos over the layers of bread and nuts, ensuring they are well soaked; if possible, you can press down with a spoon to make sure everything absorbs the liquid.
  • Refrigerate for about 1 hour. And it will be ready!!!
