Champurrado Recipe (Sweet Chocolate Rice Porridge)

Champurrado recipe or sweet chocolate rice porridge is a Filipino version to distinguish it from the Mexicans' Champurrado which is a real thick hot chocolate and spice drink. This dish is popular Filipino breakfast or snack specially during cold weather, and often served hot with Tuyo (Salted Dried Fish). This is made from glutinous rice, cocoa powder, sugar and milk to make it creamy.

Ingredients:

1 cup, glutinous rice, washed
3/4 cup, cocoa powder, dissolved in 1 cup water
1/4 cup, sugar, add more according to taste
7 cups, water
1 cup, condensed milk, add more for additional creamy taste

Procedure:

In cooking pot, put glutinous rice and water, then boil in medium heat.
Cook for 10 - 15 minutes until the rice has fully absorbed the water, mixing occasionally.
Add the dissolved cocoa powder and sugar.
Cook for 5 minutes or until everything is thoroughly mixed. Add a little water if the mix is too thick.
Put in a serving bowl then add condensed milk on the top of the champurrado.
Serve hot with Tuyo side dish.
Chow and enjoy!
