Champorado Recipe: Chocolate Rice Porridge
Champorado (pronounced as tschamp-oh-rah-do) is a sweet chocolate rice porridge that so many Filipinos love. It is traditionally made by mixing sticky rice and Tablea, which is pure ground roasted cocoa beans in tablet form and is usually mixed with some milk (evaporated milk or condensed milk, based on your preference) and sugar for that extra sweetness we all love.
Here is a simple recipe to recreate our favourite breakfast or merienda.
Champorado
- Preparation time: 5 minutes
- Cook time: 20 minutes
- Servings: 4
Ingredients
-
5-7 pieces of Tablea, depending on how chocolatey you want your meal to be. We recommend our Auro Tablea.
-
1 3/4 cups of sticky rice. You can use sushi rice or glutinous rice too!
-
6-8 cups of water, depending on how thick you want your Champorado to be
-
Milk of your choice - up to you to decide how much!
-
Sugar, as much as you prefer
Instructions
- Boil water in a medium sized pot.
- When water is boiling, add the Tablea and stir. Make sure the Tablea melts completely.
- Add the rice. Make sure your heat is in low to medium and then make sure to keep stirring so that everything doesn’t stick together. The chocolate rice should be ready in about 20 minutes.
- Once everything is mixed and the rice has absorbed the water, transfer the Champorado in individual bowls.
- Add more milk and sugar, as you prefer.
