Recipe of Champorado

Vida Recetas Editorial

Champorado is a classic Filipino breakfast that combines glutinous rice with cocoa, creating a sweet and comforting porridge. This easy recipe shows you how to make it at home with simple ingredients. Originally from Mexico, champorado was adopted in the Philippines during Spanish colonization and has become a beloved staple.

The key is the glutinous rice, which gives it a thick, sticky texture perfect for absorbing the cocoa flavor. Cocoa powder, sugar, and condensed milk add sweetness and creaminess, while a pinch of salt enhances all the flavors.

This dish is ideal for breakfast or dessert, and is often served with dried fish (tuyo or dilis) for a salty contrast. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking and add extra evaporated milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. With just 30 minutes of prep, you'll have a warm bowl of champorado that will transport you to Filipino mornings.
