Atole (
Mexican Spanish, from
Nahuatl atolli) is a traditional
cornstarch-based
Mexican and Central American (where it is known as atol) hot drink.
Chocolate atole is known as
champurrado. It is typically accompanied with
tamales, and very popular during the
Christmas holiday season (
Las Posadas).The drink typically includes
masa (corn meal), water,
piloncillo, cinnamon, vanilla and optional chocolate or fruit. The mixture is blended and heated before serving. The resulting blends vary in texture, ranging from a porridge to a very thin liquid consistency. Atole can also be prepared with
rice flour in place of masa. In northern Mexico there is also a variation using pinole (sweetened toasted corn meal). Although, atole is one of the traditional drinks of the Mexican holiday
Day of the Dead, it is very common during breakfast and dinnertime. It is usually sold as street food.
