Ingredients
- 2teaspoons anise seeds
- 2cups water
- 2 to 3dried pasilla or chipotle chilies
- 5 to 6garlic cloves, peeled
- 2½cups canned black beans, drained
- 1tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt to taste
- 4basic tamales (see recipe), using only 2 cups masa harina and 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 2cups cooked or canned pumpkin puree (if unavailable, use sweet potato or yam puree)
- ½teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
Preparation
- Step 1
Combine anise seeds and water in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until reduced to 1 cup. Place the chilies in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak until very soft, 10 to 20 minutes. Drain and remove the stems. Place the anise mixture, chilies, garlic and beans in a food processor. Process until smooth.
- Step 2
Heat the oil in a medium-size, heavy skillet over medium heat. When very hot but not smoking, add the bean puree, watching out for spatters. Simmer, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is thick, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Cool to room temperature.
- Step 3
Follow the directions for basic tamales, adding the pumpkin puree to the lard a little at a time with the masa harina mixture. Beat in the cinnamon and sugar with the salt.

Cooking Notes
Confused by the list of ingredient here; what does "4 basic tamales" mean? 4x the recipe for basic tamales... or 4 actual tamales already spread on the corn husk? One seems like masa overkill and the other can't be right either...
Is this supposed to be like a dessert tamale?
No, definitely not dessert.
