Champurrado Recipe

Mexican · Beverage · 25 min total

A thick, warm Mexican chocolate drink made with masa harina and piloncillo, perfect for cold mornings or as a comforting treat.

Ingredients

• 4 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup masa harina
• 1/2 cup piloncillo (or dark brown sugar), grated or chopped
• 2 ounces Mexican chocolate (such as Ibarra), chopped
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup of the milk and the masa harina until smooth.
2. Add the remaining 3 cups milk, piloncillo, Mexican chocolate, cinnamon stick, and salt. Whisk to combine.
3. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently with a whisk or wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle simmer, about 10-15 minutes.
4. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring often, for another 5 minutes until the chocolate and piloncillo are fully dissolved and the champurrado is thick and creamy.
5. Remove from heat. Discard the cinnamon stick. Stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Whisk vigorously until frothy, or use a molinillo (traditional wooden whisk) if available. Serve hot in mugs.

Tips

• For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk to thin if needed.
• Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less piloncillo.
