Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn*, shucked and cut off the cob
- 4 cups whole milk*, divided
- 2 cups water
- 1 cinnamon stick*
- 8 ounces piloncillo*
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ground cinnamon, for garnish
Instructions
- Add the corn and 2 cups of milk to a large blender. Blend until smooth.
- In a medium pot or saucepan, bring the water to a simmer over medium-low heat. Add the cinnamon stick and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the piloncillo and stir until fully dissolved.
- Strain the corn mixture into the pot using a fine mesh strainer. Stir in 1 cup of the remaining milk and the vanilla extract. Continue to gently simmer the atole mixture for 5 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Make a cornstarch slurry by whisking together the cornstarch with the remaining 1 cup of milk until fully combined. Slowly pour it into the pot while whisking.
- Gently simmer the atole for 10-15 minutes to allow the mixture to thicken, until it coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and serve immediately in mugs with a dusting of ground cinnamon.
Notes
- Corn: You can substitute 2 (15-ounce) cans of drained whole-kernel corn instead of fresh corn or 3 cups of frozen corn that’s been thawed.
- Piloncillo: You can substitute 1 cup of brown sugar instead of the piloncillo.
- Milk: Using whole milk adds a creamy texture and flavor, but you can make this dairy-free by using almond or oat milk.
- Cinnamon: I recommend using Ceylon cinnamon as that is what's used in Mexican cuisine, but you can use whichever cinnamon sticks you can find.
