Grandma’s Capirotada Recipe (Page 2 ) | May 30, 2025

Can I make capirotada ahead of time?
Yes! Capirotada can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat it in the oven before serving to bring back the flavors and melt the cheese.

What if I can’t find piloncillo?
You can substitute piloncillo with dark brown sugar or molasses. Both provide a rich sweetness similar to piloncillo.

Is it necessary to use cheese in capirotada?
While cheese is traditional and adds a creamy texture, you can omit it if you prefer a dairy-free version. The dish will still be flavorful without it.

How long can I store leftovers?
Store leftover capirotada in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Can I freeze capirotada?
Capirotada doesn’t freeze well due to the bread’s texture after thawing. It’s best enjoyed fresh or within a few days of making it.

Enjoy creating this traditional capirotada, and savor the unique combination of flavors that make it a beloved dessert in Mexican cuisine!
