Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the Cornstarch and 1 cup of Milk until smooth.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining 3 cups Milk, Sugar, and Salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
  3. Once simmering, slowly pour the Cornstarch mixture into the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  4. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens significantly and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the Vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the Nicuatole into a lightly greased 8x8 inch baking dish or individual ramekins.
  7. Let cool completely at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  8. To serve, cut into squares or unmold from ramekins. Sprinkle with Ground Cinnamon.
