Ingredients
- 2 C water
- 1 C milk
- 12 oz Carnation evaporated milk
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 tablet of Abuelita or Ibarra
- 6 oz. piloncillo
- 1/2 C masa
Instructions
- Fill up the stock pot with the 2 C. water & 1 C. milk and add the cinnamon stick, piloncillo and chocolate tablet
- Simmer the mixture until the piloncillo and tablet dissolve, about 8-10 minutes
- Take 1 C. of the hot mixture out and put in the blender with the masa & blend until smooth
- Pour the blender mixture back in the stock pot slowly (mixing well as you go)
- Add the Carnation evaporated milk
- Simmer at low heat another 6-8 minutes while stirring frequently to prevent clumps until the mixture thickens up (it'll be a light gravy consistency)
- Ladle into mugs - but be careful because it'll be VERY hot!
Notes
Piloncillo will be very hard at first - you really don't need to cut it (if you want to, you can heat it up first to soften). Once it sits in the hot water for a few minutes it will dissolve quite fast.
