How to Make Champurrado Mexican Chocolate Beverage
- If using a chocolate bar, grate 4 ounces of dark chocolate using a cheese grater or food processor until finely powdered.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 4 cups of whole milk and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat.
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of masa harina, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until a smooth paste develops.
- Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, whisking constantly to prevent sticking and ensure a smooth, frothy consistency. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the powdered chocolate and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar (or to taste). Whisk continuously using a molinillo (if you have one!) or a wire whisk to maintain the frothiness.
- Continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, or until the desired thickness is reached. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately.
- Garnish with a cinnamon stick, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or mini marshmallows for an extra touch of deliciousness!
