Ingredients
- Glutinous rice
- 1 cup
- Water
- 4 cups
- Cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup
- Sugar
- 1/2 cup (adjust to taste)
- Evaporated milk
- to taste (for drizzling)
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed glutinous rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is soft and tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Add the cocoa mixture to the pot of cooked rice. Stir well to ensure the cocoa and sugar are evenly distributed.
- Continue cooking over low heat for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the champorado thickens to your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the champorado in bowls, drizzling with evaporated milk on top for added creaminess.
- Enjoy it warm or chilled, as a comforting breakfast or a delightful dessert!
Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon when stirring in the cocoa mixture.
- Champorado can be customized by adding toppings like sliced bananas, toasted nuts, or even a scoop of ice cream for a decadent treat.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of water or increase the cooking time slightly.
