Champorado........ Chocolicious :)

Champorado or Tsamporado is a sweet chocolate rice porridge.  It is usually made by boiling sticky rice with cocoa powder, giving it distinctly brown color and usually with milk and sugar to make it taste sweeter .  You can use evaporated milk or powdered milk.... but I prefer powdered milk for myself.  It can be served hot or cold and it is mostly eaten during breakfast... but it can also be served during mid-afternoon snacks ( merienda ).  It is one of the favorite dish here in the Philippines. 

Ingredients:
8 tbsp cocoa powder (or about 4 pieces tableya)
1 cup glutinous rice (malagkit)  or you can use plain rice
1/2 cup sugar
3  1/2 cups water
evaporated milk or powdered milk
condensed milk (optional )

Cooking procedure:
1. Pour 2 1/2 cups of water in a pot and bring to a boil
2. Put-in the glutinous rice and allow water to re-boil for a few minutes
3. Dilute the cocoa powder in 1 cup warm water then pour-in the pot. Stir continuously
4. Once the glutinous rice is cooked (about 12 to 18 minutes of cooking with constant stirring), add the sugar and cook for another 5 minutes or until the texture becomes thick.
5. Remove from the pot and place in a serving bowl.
6. Serve hot with a swirl of condensed milk, evaporated milk or powdered milk on top.
