Hecho con Amor: Sweet Chocolate Tamales

In this class, participants will learn the fundamental skills of making sweet flavored tamales from scratch. From dry maize to delicious warm cork husk-wrapped tamales!

During this hands-on class, participants will learn the different stages of preparing your own masa by learning how to nixtamalize dry maiz, grind, and prepare a sweet vegan chocolate masa.

Participants will get to taste the fluffy cake-like tamales and take some home for the family to enjoy!
