Atole- A Delicious Mexican Porridge

When you wake up on a chilly morning, a sweet and rich Atole is just what you need to warm up and satisfy your empty stomach. Enjoy the flavors of vanilla and piloncillo, or top it with pureed fresh fruit. My favorite is pureed pineapple and mango, and I'm sure you have a favorite fruit that will make a perfect topping.
