Mole Sauce

Learn how to make authentic mole sauce (mole poblano) from scratch! This unique and beloved traditional Mexican dish is made from a combination of various ingredients, including dried chiles, nuts and seeds, spices, chocolate, and dried fruit. Serve it over chicken or turkey, as a sauce for enchiladas, or in tamales for a showstopping meal.

Making your own mole sauce at home can be a little intimidating, but once you see just how easy it is, you’ll be a pro in no time!

I’m not going to lie – making mole sauce (specifically mole poblano) from scratch takes a little bit of time, but it’s not difficult or complicated. As long as you have all of your ingredients prepped and ready to go, you can totally do it. And the end result is so worth it!
