Traditional CHAMPURRADO made with MASA HARINA | Villa Cocina

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate

💰Cheaper: cocoa powder

Cocoa powder is less expensive and can mimic chocolate flavor.

Combine masa harina and water in a bowl to form a smooth paste.

Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling.

Add the masa harina paste to the warm milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.

Stir in sugar, cinnamon, and salt, mixing until well combined.

Melt chocolate in a separate bowl, then gradually whisk into the masa mixture.

Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring often, until thickened, about 10-15 minutes.

Add vanilla extract and stir to incorporate.

Serve hot, optionally topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
