  • Pour a little milk into a container.
  • Add a packet of Maizena® strawberry atole and mix until all lumps are completely dissolved.
  • Let boil with the rest of the milk for 5 minutes.
  • Soak the corn leaves in warm water.
  • In a bowl, add the flour, cocoa, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Gradually incorporate the warm water until it is fully absorbed and a semi-dry dough forms. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat the sugar and margarine until creamy.
  • Beat the dough again and gradually add the whipped margarine. While continuing to beat, add the milk tablespoon by tablespoon.
  • Place ¼ of the dough on each leaf, and spread with a spoon. Close the tamale leaf. Fold the excess so that the dough doesn’t slip out.
  • Heat water in a steamer, arrange the tamales, not too tightly.
  • Let cook for 45 to 50 minutes, let rest for a few minutes before serving.
