Best 3 Aztec Pudding Recipes

Aztec pudding, also known as "champurrado," is a traditional Mexican dessert that has been enjoyed for centuries. Made with masa harina, a type of corn flour, champurrado has a rich, chocolatey flavor and a smooth, pudding-like texture. It is often served warm, with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkling of cinnamon on top, and is a popular treat during festivals and celebrations.

AZTEC HOT CHOCOLATE PUDDING

It looks alarming when you make it -- it's hard to believe that sprinkling sugar and cocoa on top of a cake batter and then pouring hot water over it will end up edible, but it does, it truly does. This is a luscious, homey dessert, one of those self-saucing puddings that turn themselves as they bake into a layer of gooey sauce topped with tender cake.

AZTECA COCOA RICE PUDDING

Azteca Cocoa Rice Pudding image

The Aztecs believed that cacao seeds were the gift of Quetzalcoatl, the God of wisdom who was hated by the other gods for giving cacao to humans. The seeds had so much value they were used as a form of currency. Originally prepared only as a drink, chocolate was served bitter and spicy. Often this gift from the gods was reserved for royalty and religious leadership. It was believed to give strength and so was added to a soldier's rations. Later it was seen as an aphrodisiac which made it much more popular. I have used their spirit as inspiration for this sweet and spicy rice pudding.
