Directions
- In a medium pot, combine masa harina with 1 ½ cups water and cinnamon.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring with a whisk until it begins to bubble, about 2 minutes.
- Add milk, chocolate, piloncillo, molasses, cloves, and mole. Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently until sugar has completely dissolved and mixture has thickened, about 15 minutes.
- Discard cinnamon and cloves. Serve as is or strain, if desired.
- Note: The longer the champurrado is simmered, the thicker it becomes. If it becomes too thick, simply add more milk to thin out.
