Servings: 6 cups
Calories: 216kcal
Ingredients
- 5 cups milk divided
- 1 big Mexican cinnamon stick
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (I like Simple Truth Organic acked pumpkin)
- 2 tablespoons pure cornstarch
You will also need:
- A pot
- A strainer
Instructions
- Combine 4 cups milk, cinnamon stick and sugar, place on stove on high heat and move continuously until sugar is completely dissolved.
- Whisk in pumpkin and bring to the boil.
- In a separate cup, dissolve the cornstarch into 1 cup of cold milk until smooth.
- When milk and pumpkin mixture starts to simmer and rise, give a quick whisk to the cornstarch mixture and pour it in.
- Reduce temperature to medium-high and stir constantly for 5 minutes or to your desired consistency. The more it cooks the thicker it will become.
- Strain the atole to remove the cinnamon pieces and let it cool down for about 10 minutes. Serve with tamales or pan dulce. It's also delicious on its own.
