For the champurrado:
For the Champurrado
water
3 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks
1 whole star anise
¼ cup masa harina
½ cup coconut sugar
1 disk Mexican chocolate (such as Ibarra)
2 medium bananas, frozen
For the Cinnamon Twists
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 tablespoons margarine, melted
¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
For the Champurrado
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water, cinnamon sticks and star anise. Bring to a simmer and then remove from the heat, cover and allow to steep for 15 minutes.
- Remove the cinnamon and anise and turn the heat back on to medium-low. Whisk in the masa harina, LACTAID® Reduced Fat 2% Lactose-Free Milk and coconut sugar, then add the chocolate. Allow to simmer, whisking often, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is thick and smooth, about 10 minutes.
- Chill in the refrigerator until cold, about 2 hours.
For the Cinnamon Twists
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F, and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Unroll the puff pastry onto a cutting board and brush with margarine.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon and salt and sprinkle over the puff pastry. Cut the pastry in half vertically and then cut each half into 6 strips. Twist each strip into a long straw and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Continue with the rest of the strips, and bake until puffed and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer the twists to a wire rack to cool.
For Assembly
- Add the champurrado to a blender with the bananas and 1 cup of ice, and blend until smooth and frothy.
- Pour into glasses and serve with the cinnamon twists.
