To make this Pumpkin Spice Atole
Set a large stockpot on the stovetop over Medium Low heat. Pour in 4 cups milk (reserve 1 cup for later), then add cinnamon sticks, star anise, and brown sugar. Stir.
Meantime, in electric blender combine pumpkin pureƩ, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and pumpkin pie spice. Blend until left with a smooth pumpkin sauce, then add that pumpkin sauce to the pot of milk on stovetop. Stir to combine.
In separate small bowl, whisk together remaining 1 cup of milk and corn starch to create a slurry for thickening. Add to pumpkin atole on stovetop. Stir and let simmer on Low for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Atole will thicken. Finally, add in vanilla extract, stir and turn off burner. Serve hot in mug, sprinkle additional cinnamon or nutmeg on top, sip and enjoy!
