Toast 1/2 cup of masa harina in a pot until it reaches a light tan color, being careful not to burn it.

Add 6 cups of milk to the toasted masa harina and stir until the masa is fully dissolved with no lumps.

Add the bar of Abuelita chocolate to the mixture and whisk continuously to prevent sticking and burning.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of cinnamon (optional) and continue to whisk.

Cook the mixture on medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened.

Add 1/2 cup of sugar to sweeten (or up to 1 cup if you prefer it sweeter).

Serve hot, optionally topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
