Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice (sticky rice)
- 4 cups water
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 ounces dark chocolate (chopped)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup evaporated milk or coconut milk (for topping)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the rice simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and tender.
In a small bowl, mix the unsweetened cocoa powder with a few tablespoons of hot water to create a smooth paste. This helps prevent clumps from forming when added to the rice.
Once the rice is cooked, stir in the cocoa paste, chopped dark chocolate, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the chocolate is fully melted, and the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Simmer for another 5–10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Taste the pudding and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if needed.
Turn off the heat and allow the Champorado to rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve warm in bowls, and drizzle 1–2 tablespoons of evaporated milk or coconut milk over each serving for added creaminess. Enjoy!
