Ingredients

1 cup glutinous rice (sweet rice), rinsed
4 cups water
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup rinsed glutinous rice (sweet rice) and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
2

Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix well to dissolve the cocoa.
3

Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is very tender and the porridge has thickened to a creamy, pudding-like consistency, about 20-25 minutes. Add a splash of water if it becomes too thick.
4

Stir in 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness.
5

Serve in bowls, drizzled generously with 1/2 cup evaporated milk.

Questions

Can I make Champorado Chocolate Rice Porridge dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1/2 cup evaporated milk. Swap the evaporated milk for a plant-based version of the same product. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Champorado Chocolate Rice Porridge keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Champorado Chocolate Rice Porridge?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
