Vanilla Atole

/posts/2015/05/20150529_235756_vanilla-atole.html

I don't have a picture but I tried to make vanilla Atole, a mexican corn (masa) beverage. We had the chocolate kind (champurrado) at a latina market and it was so good. I actually made it twice. Once on Monday and then again today. Both recipes are below with the top being the newer one.

It was pretty good. Nowhere near as good as the super market one but really not bad. And pretty easy. I think this would make a great snow-day drink. And while it's not exactly low in points, it's not too high either. I estimate the recent to be about 5 PP.

I think the cinnamon should be reduced though.

Newer Version

• 2 cups unsweetened nut milk (almond or cashew). Vanilla flavor is preferable but it doesn't really matter
• 1/3 cup Masa Harina
• 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp packed brown sugar
• 2 splenda packets
• 1 tsp cinnamon (less next time)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• pinch of salt

Combine all ingredients in a Vitamix and run on high for 5-6 minutes to friction heat.

Original Version

• 2.5 cups unsweetened nut milk (almond or cashew). Vanilla flavor is preferable but it doesn't really matter
• 1/4 cup Masa Harina
• 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp packed brown sugar
• 2 splenda packets
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 vanilla bean's worth of scrapped seeds
• 1 tsp vanilla
• pinch of salt

Combine all ingredients in a Vitamix and run on high for 5-6 minutes to friction heat.

This one was less thick and didn't have the corn flavor as developed. The vanilla bean was probably more work than it was worth
