radergirl1 Recipe ∞ Chocolate Atole

A wonderful, rich, thick drink. Like a cross between hot cocoa and pudding. Can never remember my tweaks to this recipe, so decided to post it. Officially called champurrado, but I call it what I can pronounce.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cold water
• ¼ cup masa harina
• 1 cup milk
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup evaporated milk
• 1 (2 ounce) bar dark chocolate, chopped
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking Directions

1. Whisk water and masa harina together in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Add milk and cinnamon. Continue stirring until thick and bubbly. Add evaporated milk, chocolate, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Cook and stir until chocolate and sugar are just melted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into mugs. Serve hot.
