Caramelized Banana Champurrado
Ingredients
  • 1 medium banana, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons  packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon  butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon  ground cinnamon
  • Pinch salt
  • 2 cups  whole milk
  • 2 cups  water
  • 1/4 cup  masa harina
  • 1 3 1/4 - 3 1/2ounce disk Mexican-style sweet chocolate, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 cup  finely chopped piloncillo (Mexican dark brown sugar) or 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon  ground anise
  • Thinly sliced banana (optional)
Directions

1. In a large saucepan combine the medium banana, the 2 tablespoons brown sugar, the butter, cinnamon, and salt; cook over medium-low heat about 2 minutes or until banana slices are caramelized. Transfer banana to a blender. Add milk. Cover and blend until smooth; set aside.

2. Return the saucepan to medium heat. Add the water; heat until water is warm. Gradually add masa harina, whisking until combined. Add banana-milk mixture, chocolate, piloncillo, and ground anise. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook and stir about 15 minutes or just until mixture comes to a simmer and chocolate is completely melted. Serve immediately. If desired, garnish with additional thinly sliced banana.
