Champorado - Filipino Chocolate Rice Pudding

Just about every culture has some kind of rice pudding – a sweetened rice dish cooked with milk and/or water. However, the Phillipines has a chocolate version. Due to their mutual colonization by Spain, chocolate was brought to the Phillipines via Mexico and remained an integral item in Filipino cuisine used in desserts as well as hot chocolate. You should use a good quality dark chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
It’s very important to use glutinous rice or another short grain rice that will release a lot of starch when it is cooked. Arborio rice is a good substitute if you cannot source sticky rice.

Although in the Philippines, this is usually had for breakfast, I like it as much for dessert as for breakfast!
