Tembleque

Ingredients

  • Pour the contents of 1 can of either of the coconut concoctions
  • (Coco Lopez) into a bowl and add milk to measure 4 cups. You can
  • use half milk and half water if you like, as long as you use some
  • kind of milk. Add enough sugar to make it sweet enough for your
  • tastes, usually between 2/3 - 1 cup, depending on whether you used
  • plain coconut milk or coconut milk that is sweetened. Most plain
  • coconut milk comes in larger cans than the sweetened version which
  • comes in thinner, taller cans. As in all cooked sweet treats you
  • should add a bit of salt, about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon.

Instructions

Transfer everything to a pot and whisk in 1/2 cup of cornstarch. Add some lime peel (or lemon if you don't have it), about the size of a strip taken off from the middle of it going all around the lime. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. This will take from 10-15 minutes. As soon as it's done pour it into your molds or onto platters, even into individual dishes if you like. Just make sure that when you finish pouring you dust each one lightly with ground cinnamon. Chill.
