Ingredients
- 1 mexican chocolate tablet (about 3 oz)
- ½ cup masa harina
- 4 oz piloncillo (or ½ cup brown sugar)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 6 ½ cups water
Instructions
- In a pot place piloncillo or brown sugar, chocolate, and cinnamon stick.
- Add 4 ½ cups of water and bring to a boil over medium-low heat.
- Simmer for about 7 minutes while stirring constantly to dissolve chocolate and piloncillo.
- Add masa harina to the remaining water in a cup and mix to combine.
- Slowly and while stirring, pour in the masa harina mixture into the pot.
- Allow to simmer for 10 minutes while mixing with a wooden spoon. Do not leave the pot unattended.
- Once the mixture has thickened, taste for sweetness and add more sugar/piloncillo if you want.
- Remove from heat and serve.
NOTES
- Never leave the pot unattended. When boiling, the mixture can easily overflow and spill all over your stove (see photo below).
- Use dark chocolate, sweetened chocolate can change the taste of this recipe. Also, avoid using milk chocolate.
- If you can’t find piloncillo where you live, use packed brown sugar or molasses. Molasses have the closest taste to piloncillo and is the perfect substitute.
