Atole  de Guayaba

The white atole with milk and guava pure are a delightful combination. Guava is a very aromatic fruit, guavas grown in Mexico have a light yellow skin with small brown spots once they are ripe the pulp is soft and white and some are light pink, they have a large number of small seeds.

– Stir guava puree into the cooking atole. Mix well and keep cooking for about 10 more minutes. Although it is not a traditional way to do it, I like to serve this type of atole with a dusting of ground cinnamon.
