Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 Mexican mazapanes (1 oz / 28 g each)
  • 4 cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons corn starch (Maizena)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mazapan Mixture: Add 4 Mexican mazapanes, 3 tablespoons corn starch, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 3 tablespoons sugar to a blender. Pour in 2 cups of milk and blend on high speed for 15 to 30 seconds. The longer you blend, the smoother the drink will be.
  2. Heat Remaining Milk: Pour the remaining 2 cups of milk into a medium-sized pot and warm it over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling.
  3. Combine and Cook: Pour the blended mazapan mixture into the pot with the warm milk. Cook over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Serve: Pour the thickened atole into cups and enjoy immediately while warm. Alternatively, allow it to cool slightly and serve later.

Notes

  • Adjust sugar amount according to your preferred sweetness.
  • Use full-fat milk for a richer flavor, or substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Stir constantly while cooking to prevent lumps and burning.
  • Atole de Mazapan is traditionally served warm and is perfect for cold mornings or celebrations.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, reduce the corn starch slightly.
