MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE ATOLE CHAMPURRADO



Mexican Hot Chocolate Atole Champurrado image

I loved this drink growing up. It is very delicious and great on a cold chilly day. My Mexican grandmother used to make this for us when I was a kid, and now I make it for my kids. Very delicious. Serve hot, alone or you can top with whipped cream and dust some cinnamon over it. Sugar can also be less or more, suited to taste.

Tips:

  • Use fresh masa harina for the best flavor and texture. Masa harina that is older than 6 months may not produce a smooth champurrado.
  • If you don't have masa harina, you can substitute 1 cup of all-purpose flour. However, the champurrado will not be as thick and creamy.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar and cinnamon to your taste. Some people like their champurrado sweeter, while others prefer it less sweet.
  • If you want a vegan champurrado, you can use almond milk or soy milk instead of whole milk. You can also omit the honey.
  • Serve champurrado hot with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a piece of Mexican sweet bread.

Conclusion:

Champurrado is a delicious and comforting Mexican hot chocolate. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The next time you are looking for a warm and cozy drink, give champurrado a try. You won't be disappointed!
