Filipino Dessert Recipes Champorado #24

DISH IN DISH OUT - Champorado is really a sweet chocolate rice porridge that uses sweet glutinous rice (locally referred to as malagkit ) and cocoa powder as main ingredients. A far more traditional approach could be using tableya (pure cocoa blocks) rather than cocoa powder. This porridge could be served hot or cold and it is mostly eaten during breakfast. This may also be served during mid-afternoon snacks (meryenda) and it is best when complimented with Tuyo (salted dried fish).

During this actual presentation, I made use of special dark chocolate (the only real available ingredient inside my kitchen ) rather than the ordinary cocoa powder. This made the colour from the Champorado darker€¦don€™t be alarmed when the colour from the champorado that you will be cooking is brownish because that‘s the way it ought to be. I€™m just trying to save lots of a few bucks through the use of things that are directly available. You ought to do the same thing thing too.
