Champorado
Also known as: Tsamporado
Warm Filipino glutinous-rice porridge with unsweetened cacao tablea and a milk topping.
About Champorado
Champorado is a Filipino chocolate rice porridge eaten for breakfast or a snack. Jolina’s version follows her grandmother’s combination of sticky rice and cacao tablea, with milk on top.
Unsweetened tablea gives the porridge a deep cacao flavour, balanced by sugar to taste and evaporated milk. An optional side of tuyo adds the salty contrast described with the traditional breakfast.
The swollen rice grains sit in a thick, creamy chocolate mixture. Milk streaks the surface of the warm porridge, with optional chocolate chips, chopped nuts or coconut as extra toppings.
