Champorado

The classic Filipino chocolate porridge! We love it breakfast. We love it for dessert. Topped with salty dried fish and its perfect.
Cook Time 30 minutes
Soak Time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rice sticky rice is a great variant
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 6 cups liquid. Use full cans of coconut milk and top up with water
  • ½ cup cocoa powder or 200 g chocolate/tablea
  • ½ to 1 cup sugar to taste

Method
 

  1. In my video, I absentmindedly started with the rice. I normally start with the liquid but it just slipped my mind. If you happen to make the same mistake as me, make sure to break apart the rice as the chocolate tends to clump up,
  2. Soak your rice in a bowl for at least 30 minutes. You could do it overnight as well
  3. In a large pot, pour in your liquid. You can do full coconut milk but I suggest using full cans of coconut milk until the next one would put you over 6 cups. For example it would be approx 3 cans of coconut milk and half a cup of water. Bring this liquid to a simmer.
  4. Next, add your choice of chocolate. You can use cocoa powder such as Milo or use chocolate. In my video I chose tablea chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted and evenly mixed throughout the liquid. I used 200g of tablea to make it SUPER chocolatey. You can use 100g for a lighter, thinner champorado.
  5. Add the rice. Add a pinch of salt and 1/2 cup of sugar. Add more sugar to your own taste.
  6. Simmer until sticky rice is cooked throughout, about 30 mintues. Once everything is uniform throughout, serve! Its traditional to serve with a swirl of coconut milk and a little bit of salty, dried fish like dilis or tuyo
