The aroma of coconut milk smells so delicious. I’ve never smelled a champorado as good as this. Perfectly creamy, delicious chocolatey madness.
What is Champorado? Champorado is a chocolate rice porridge that Filipino loves to eat for breakfast. It is a Filipino staple breakfast. And my favorite childhood breakfast.
I remember, I will wake up in the morning and head straight outside our neighborhood with my 5 pesos coin in my hand just to buy this chocolate champorado porridge. My day is so complete after eating my favorite champorado because sometimes when I wake up late, the large pot of Champorado can be sold out quickly in our neighborhood.
I’m sure many fellow Filipinos can relate to my story, my own childhood memory for Champorado. But this Champorado with Coconut milk is another twist of the recipe. If you want the original version of Champorado you may try this link Champorado with Tuyo Recipe
