⚠️‼️Suggestion
My blender was over worked! Try step 4 in batches of 3 to assure a smooth blend 😅
If using a different blender than a vitamix save 3/4 of a cup of raisin water and 1 cup of Chile water to assist your blend as needed. Not to worry the excess water will dissipate when cooking. Add 15 minutes to cook and stirring time. You got this corazón!
Step 5 cooking on medium heat mostly (Constantly stirring once mole paste touches the pot)
Add 1/2 cup of lard to pot allow to warm up and then add your mole paste
Cook 15 minutes while constantly to avoid burning and even cooking
In a bowl of warm water add desired chocolate bars + piloncillo once dissolved add to mole pot
Cook another 10 to 15 minutes taste and adjust chocolate and piloncillo as needed
Once you achieve desired sweetness add salt adjust to taste and continue storing to complete 45 minutes of stirring
Last 5 to 10 minutes switch heat to low and continue stirring amoricito, don’t quit, you got this babe.
Once paste is cooked set in a bowl and allow to cool a few hours
Place in an air tight container or small freezer bag in portions
If kept clean will last in refrigerator 3+ months
Will last in freezer 6 months to a year if not more 😋
