Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups milk (2% or whole)
- 2 cinnamon sticks (Ceylon cinnamon preferred)
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 4.9 ounces Marías cookies
- 3 ounces piloncillo*
- ground cinnamon, for garnish
Instructions
- Add the milk and cinnamon sticks to a medium pot and cook over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. The milk will start to gently steam, and small frothy bubbles will form on the edges.
- While the milk reaches a simmer, blend the Marías cookies and evaporated milk in a blender until completely smooth.
- Once the milk reaches a gentle simmer, slowly pour the blended cookie mixture into the milk, stirring to combine.
- Add the piloncillo and continuously stir for 10 minutes to melt the piloncillo and thicken the atole. The atole should evenly coat the back of your stirring spoon.
- Once it has reached the proper consistency, discard the cinnamon stick.
- Serve immediately in mugs and dust with ground cinnamon if desired.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- If you don't have piloncillo, substitute ½ cup brown sugar.
- Piloncillo usually comes in 8 ounce cones. To break apart, microwave piloncillo in a bowl in 15 second increments to soften the cone and break apart for your desired amount.
- You can adjust the thickness of the atole to your liking. To make it less thick, add milk 1 cup at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
