Champurrado, Mexican Chocolate Atole
- Ready In:
- 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 1 gallon water, plus
- 2 -3 cups water to dissolve the masa harina flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups fresh corn masa harina flour
- 2 1⁄2 pieces mexican chocolate, tablets (Abuelita brand is good)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 small piloncillo (raw sugar cane cones)
directions
- Place the water in a large pot and add the cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil. Meanwhile, place the masa in a bowl and add the water. Let sit for a few minutes and then blend with a fork or wire whisk until well blended. I sometimes have a hard time dissolving the masa and use my fingers to make sure that there are no lumps remaining. Once the water comes to a full boil, add the dissolved masa and immediately begin stirring with a wire whisk. Keep on stirring often until it comes to a boil again. Cook over low heat for about 8-10 minutes and then add the chocolate tablets, which have previously been broken into pieces. Dissolve the chocolate and bring to a boil. Then add the sugar cones and stir to dissolve. Once this is done, cook for another 5 minutes and remove the cinnamon stick. Serve with tamales or any sweet bread, such as cinnamon rolls.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I began cooking as a kid with my mom. I cook mostly Mexican food, but my best recipes are the ones that I improvise at the last minute! Especially desserts, which I love to cook, but always forget to write down.
I'm a stay at home mom of three kids- 2 boys (3 & 5years old) and a 1 year old baby girl. My husband and I have been married for nearly 8 years.
I want to take a moment to thank all of you who have made my recipes and even took the time to review and/or photograph them. I appreciate every one of them!
