I loved this drink growing up. It is very delicious and great on a cold chilly day. My Mexican grandmother used to make this for us when I was a kid, and now I make it for my kids. Very delicious. Serve hot, alone or you can top with whipped cream and dust some cinnamon over it. Sugar can also be less or more, suited to taste.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the champurrado will taste. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. You can add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or chili powder to the champurrado for a unique flavor twist.
  • Make sure the masa harina is cooked thoroughly. If the masa harina is not cooked properly, the champurrado will have a gritty texture.
  • Serve the champurrado hot. Champurrado is best enjoyed when it is hot and steaming.

Conclusion:

Champurrado is a delicious and versatile beverage that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a popular drink to serve at parties and gatherings. With its rich, chocolatey flavor and creamy texture, champurrado is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
