Cozy Up with Esmeralda Cardenas' Irresistible Champurrado
December 13, 2024
When temps drop, our champurrado cravings set in. The sweet, chocolatey atole is a winter staple across Mexico.
Esmeralda en la Cocina's champurrado recipe brings the warmth of tradition straight to your kitchen. Made with Mexican chocolate, piloncillo, cinnamon, and masa harina, it's the perfect drink to cozy up with on a cold winter evening or share during the holidays. Esmeralda's version utilizes milk and evaporated milk, but champurrado can also be made with water. Enjoy it with tamales for a classic winter pairing or savor it on its own for a comforting moment.

Hi Mary! Thanks for reaching out. If you’re referring to our champurrado mix (https://masienda.com/products/champurrado), it doesn’t contain cloves, and the cinnamon is intentionally subtle, adding just a touch of warmth without being overpowering. If you’d like, you can customize the flavor to your preference by adding a bit more cinnamon or clove powder. Let us know if you have any other questions—we’re happy to help!
Gracias por mostrar la receta sabrosa en espanol! Es buen practico para mi. Thank you for teaching the recipe in Spanish! Great listening practice for this intermediate life-long learner. Muy divertido decirle el nombre de este bebida. Even saying the name of this drink is new to me! It was easy to make and delicious! Muy deliciosa y facil de hacer. Had to substitute the evaporated milk for sweetened condensed milk and Red for White Masienda Heirloom corn. Fue necesario replacar unos ingredientes. Next time, I will add nixtamalized Masienda Bolita Yellow Heirloom corn kernels after grinding them in the Mockmill 100 machine for even more depth and earthiness of flavor. El proximo vez voy a agregar el maiz amarillo de granos a polvo. Disculpa mis errores en espanol! Le agradezco mucho! Saludos!
I purchased champurada mix from you but it didn’t have the flavor of cinnamon or cloves. What did I do wrong. Please help
