Pineapple Atole

Published: Apr 12, 2017 · Updated: Jan 29, 2021 by Mely Martínez

JUMP TO RECIPE

The good thing about Atole is that it can be made in as many flavors as your imagination allows. Yes, like in this pineapple atole, you can add any of your favorite fruits, nuts, and spices to the mix and it will still be great. One of my favorite flavors is pineapple, so I'm taking advantage of the last cool evenings here where I live and enjoy a nice, hot cup of pineapple atole made with DOLE® pineapple chunks.

Atole de Piña Recipe

Pineapple Atole recipe

My grandma used to make atoles during the cooler months of the year, and would always offer a hot cup of atole to visitors when they came to visit her farm. I wish she could taste my own version with some pineapples chunks added and a dash of ground cinnamon!

I like to have a well-stocked pantry, and for me, that means always having different types of fruits from the Dole brand, like peaches, mangos, and pineapple, for example. Dole makes a robust line of fruit products ranging from fresh fruit to frozen fruit, dried fruit, fruit juices, and much more.

Their products come in very handy when making quick recipes. One thing that I also like about their products is that DOLE Fruit Bowls® is packed with 100% fruit juice, not syrup.

All in all, it's great to have their products around when I'm making recipes like these. So, let's get started!

      Querida Mely,

      No sabes lo feliz que me hizo encontrar esta receta, junto con tu blog. Yo soy originaria de Ciudad Madero (!!!) y tengo 6 años acá en Estados Unidos. Muchas de tus recetas son lo que yo recuerdo que mi abuelita me hacía creciendo, este atole en específico, ahora que ya falleció poder preparar las comidas y bebidas que ella me hacía tal como las recuerdo me trae un inmenso sentimiento de nostalgia y felicidad. Muchas gracias por compartir con el mundo tantas recetas auténticamente mexicanas y auténticamente huastecas.

        Hello Pinkmarshmellow,
        Masa Harina is the flour made out of corn that has been cooked with lime powder. It's usually sold in packages. Check this link to see one. http://amzn.to/2nrqEXG

        Hello Theresa,
        Do not add the sugar. When you are ready to drink it, add sugar substitute to your cup the same way you will do to your cup of coffee.

      Can this alole be made with fresh corn instead of the masa harina, if yes, how would you prepare it?
      Thanks in advance.
