Ingredients:
For the Crust:

  • 4 Rodriguez Bakery conchas (or other sweet Mexican bread)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional for extra thickness)
  • ½ cup heavy cream

For the Topping:

  • 1 Rodriguez Bakery concha, torn into small pieces or crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Tear the 4 conchas into pieces and pulse them in a food processor to make coarse crumbs (about 2 cups). Mix the crumbs with melted butter, then press them into a pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes until golden and set. Let it cool.

  2. Make the Filling:
    In a bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and cornstarch (if using). Stir in the heavy cream until smooth. Pour this mixture into the cooled concha crust.

  3. Add the Topping:
    Crumble the remaining concha over the custard. Drizzle melted butter on top, then sprinkle with sugar for added sweetness.

  4. Bake:
    Place the pie in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the filling is set and the topping is golden. Let cool for at least 15 minutes.

  5. Serve:
    Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. It’s the perfect festive treat for Thanksgiving, offering a sweet, comforting way to end your meal.
