[Filipino Recipes] Champorado - Chocolate Rice Pudding

Champorado is a kind of chocolate rice pudding eaten in the Philippines. This is not to be confused with the Mexican champurrado, which is more of a hot chocolate drink.

I had a roommate a while back that was freaking out with excitement when she discovered a pot of this was cooking up in the kitchen. It’s a rare treat around here, I guess!

Champorado is normally eaten for breakfast or just as a snack. Sometimes milk is added, and sometimes it’s topped with condensed milk too. However for this recipe, there’s no milk, and it’s sweetened with sugar.

Add rice and water to the pan on medium to medium-high heat and stir until it starts to expand and absorb water.

Test the rice by eating a grain every 2 minutes or so after it looks kind of soft. Only when it’s fully cooked to your liking, add the cocoa powder and mix thoroughly.

Add the sugar and mix well.

After the sugar is fully mixed in, serve.
