Champurrado Mix
$14.00
Champurrado is an atole, a masa-based beverage, that consists of cacao, sugar, water or milk and spices. Its name is derived from the word champurrar, which means “to mix” in Spanish. Champurrado earns this moniker because it is traditionally frothed vigorously with a wooden mixing tool called a molinillo.
While especially consumed on Dia de los Muertos and Las Posadas, champurrado is enjoyed all year round for breakfast throughout Mexico, specifically Oaxaca. It is often accompanied by pan dulce, for dunking, and tamales, because more masa is always better than some masa.
We’re especially thrilled to partner with Cultura Chocolate for the chocolate in this mix. Damaris is a Masienda wholesale partner (check out her café in Denver featuring tasty heirloom masa meals and delicious chocolate) and sources the cacao for her 70% Mexico chocolate directly from Tabasco, Mexico. It is criollo white bean cacao in limited supply, so we feel fortunate to have secured some before they ran out this year!
Our team member, Jess Stephens, of Empellón, Onda and The Modern, prepared this champurrado mix for easy use at home. Just add water or milk/milk alternative, heat and enjoy–frothing encouraged, but certainly optional.
Specifications
Serves 4. Non-dairy, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free.
Ingredients: Masienda Chef-Grade Masa Harina (olotillo blanco), dark chocolate, sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, cayenne. This has been prepared in a facility with trace amounts of gluten, dairy and nuts.
Directions: Add six cups of water, milk, or non-dairy milk to a pot. Add in the Masienda Champurrado Mix (the whole thing!) and whisk until all of the masa harina is broken up. Continue whisking over medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes. You want the liquid to thicken a bit without burning the champurrado at the bottom of the pot. Serve immediately, garnish if you’d like, and enjoy!

My whole family loved this. Very easy to make, and noticeable that the ingredients are much higher quality than what your average mexican-american kid had growing up. Great for Christmas time.

My family LOVED the Champurrado Mix. Not too sweet, perfectly spiced, and thick enough, but not too thick. Very happy with my purchase and the customer service I received.

Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for the question! Unfortunately we do not recommend making less than 4 servings as the liquid to masa ratio would be too low, and would burn the masa.

This is as close to authentic Mexican champurrado as you’ll ever get! My wife and I love champurrado and have been trying to find a good alternative to store bought champurrado without much success until we got our hands on this. This is my go to now and I can’t imagine ever going back. Must try!
