Chocolate Tamales Recipe

12 cups prepared masa or masa harina masa without salt
1 cup sugar or to taste
2 teaspoons Mexican vanilla
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
10 ounces milk, bittersweet or white chocolate, broken into small pieces
1/3 cup chopped maraschino cherries (optional)
30-40 dried corn husks, cleaned of debris and soaked in warm water until pliable (about 20 minutes)

Mix sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla into masa by hand. It's messy but efficient. Taste dough for sweetness. Add more sugar if necessary. The masa will lose some sweetness during the cooking process. Mix cherries into masa dough.

Scoop about 2 tablespoons masa and place in center on the smooth side of 1 corn husk. Press down center of masa with thumb to make a small well. Fill well with chocolate and cover with masa. Fold sides and bottom in. Tie with a strip of corn husk or string, if you like, or just leave folded. Repeat with remaining corn husks and filling.

Cook tamales in a tamale steamer or in a conventional steamer. Line tray or basket with corn husks; place tamales on top. The tamales should not come in contact with the water. To prevent steamer from drying out, put a coin in the bottom of the steamer. You will hear it clinking as long as there is boiling water in the steamer. Steam tamales about 1 hour. They are done when masa no longer sticks to the corn husks when tamales are unrolled.

ibarra chocolate disks


I N G R E D I E N T S
6 cups fresh masa dough
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar (or piloncillo)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
12 large dried corn husks, soaked, washed and drained, with pieces shredded for ties
2 cups premium semisweet chocolate chips or Ibarra Mexican chocolate, chopped into small pieces
2 cups fresh whipped cream (optional)

I N S T R U C T I O N S
Prepare masa (see recipe link above). You can also use Masa Instantanza if you wish. Prepare according to the package directions.

In a large bowl, combine the masa, brown sugar, and vanilla until well blended.

To assemble the tamales, place 1/2 cup of the masa in the center of the smooth side of a corn husk. Using the back of a wet tablespoon, make an indentation in the center of the masa and fill with 1 1/2 tablespoons or more of the chocolate chips. Fold both sides of the husk tightly in over the masa mixture and tie a t both ends. Repeat for the reaming tamales. Steam the tamales for 55 minutes. Serve plain or with whipping cream.
