Atole de Elote
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 cups of milk
- 2 cups of fresh or canned corn kernels
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 cup of cornstarch
- 1/4 cup of water
Instructions
- In a blender, combine 2 cups of corn kernels and 2 cups of milk. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the corn and milk mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large saucepan, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
- Add the remaining 2 cups of milk, sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt to the saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.
- Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering milk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
- Continue to cook the atole, stirring constantly, until it thickens to the consistency of a thin pudding, about 10 minutes.
- Serve the atole de elote hot in mugs, and sprinkle with a little extra ground cinnamon if desired. Enjoy!
