Make the recipe for the Mexican Marzipan Atole or Peanut Atole Hot Drink

Cheers with a Mexican Marzipan Atole or Peanut Atole Hot Drink with Maicena!

Mexican marzipan atole made with maicena and Mexican candy

Atole (ah-toe-lay) also called atol. This is the quintessential Mexican hot beverage made with fine corn flour called Maicena. ⁣This is a fine flour that is diluted and then added to hot milk or water to make the Mexican marzipan atole.

Atoles have either fruits and nuts. But when chocolate and corn masa are added becomes a champurrado.⁣ We love them all especially the guava atole.

Ingredients for making the peanut atole include cornstarch, milk, and Mexican mazapan

The Mexican Marzipan Atole is a delight. Are you ready to try it?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

The recipe for the marzipan atole is simple. It has peanut Mexican mazapán, maicena or cornstarch, and milk.⁣⁣ First, mash the peanut marzipan using a fork. Add this to the blender along with milk. ⁣⁣

Pour the peanut marzipan milk mix into a saucepan or an aluminum jug and cook it in the stove.⁣⁣ While the blend warms dilute cornstarch with water in a separate bowl. ⁣

The cornstarch has to be diluted before use

When the peanut milk mix is bubbling, add the diluted cornstarch and stir until the peanut atole comes together.⁣⁣ It is ready when the drink is smooth and velvety.⁣⁣ Serve the Mexican marzipan atole hot on your favorite cup, and enjoy.⁣⁣

After the first sip, the feeling of warmth, and coziness is what makes the hot drink so special. Then you will understand why atole is a favorite drink among many Mexican households.

Step by step process on how to make the peanut atole hot drink

Atole is a sweet tasty hot beverage that hugs you inside out.

This peanut atole beverage is comforting and fulfilling. The hot beverage of choice for breakfast and dinner, and paired with Mexican pastries or Pan de Muerto.

This year we are including the atole in our altar offering since many of my family members enjoyed peanut marzipan. Besides, this candy brings me so many childhood memories.

The peanut atol is a comforting Mexican hot drink

The Mexican marzipan has peanut and sugar. It is round mimicking a cookie.⁣ ⁣In Mexico, you can find mazapanes in almost all candy stores and at the supermarket.

I was lucky to find them here in Florida and couldn’t resist to buy a box and prepare the peanut atole using the Mexican marzipan as the main ingredient.

Mexican Marzipan Atole is in the Menu for Day of the Dead

Cheers with a Mexican hot drink also called atol

Our altar is ready and the menu this year includes an almond mole with chicken, tlacoyos, cactus salad, sugar skull cookies, candied pumpkin and yams, pan de muerto, and the Mexican marzipan atole.

Sounds lovely and I love your mug (I have the same one). I wish I could make and eat something like this without the fear of calories. However, I think this one I need to try, all with moderation right?
