Hi

Here's the recipe for the dessert I made for the Red Lion Hotluck.  Doug 
found it works REAL well on a tortilla served with a dab of sour cream. - Karen

Champurrado
(Chocolate Atole)
4 - 6 servings

1/2 cup Masa Harina (the cornmeal used for corn tortillas)
1-1/4 cups cold water
1-3/4 cups boiling water
Two 1-oz squares unsweetened chocolate (I used 4 heaping tablespoons of 
unsweetened powdered baking cocoa)
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
I added cloves, ginger and other good stuff
1/2 teaspoon of Jim's apple smoked Red Savina Powder

Mix Masa Harina with cold water; strain mixture into boiling water.  Stir 
until smooth.  Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring 
constantly.  Reduce heat to medium, stir in remaining ingredients.  Cook 
and stir constantly until mixture thickens, about five minutes.  Serve 
hot.  Can be served in a bowl or in individual cups.
