Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups water
  • 1 cup glutinous rice
  • 4 pieces tablea chocolate
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk

Instructions
 

  • In a deep pot over medium heat, add water and bring to a boil.
  • Add rice and stir to distribute. Lower heat and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until rice begins to expand.
  • Add tablea and cook, stirring regularly, until chocolate has melted. Continue to cook until rice is translucent and liquid is reduced to desired consistency.
  • Add sugar and continue to cook, stirring regularly, until dissolved.
  • Ladle onto bowls, drizzle with evaporated milk and serve hot.

Notes

Don’t have glutinous rice flour on hand? You can use regular long-grain rice and mimic the thick and creamy texture by adding rice flour. Stir some rice flour with water until smooth, whisk into the cooked champorado, and simmer for a few minutes to desired consistency.
