Vegan Champorado Recipe
This bowl is a chocolate heavyweight champ—Filipino rice porridge loaded with deep, bittersweet tablea, coconut milk, and a little black cocoa to give it a little Oreo cookie flavor. Perfect for those who think breakfast should be less “balanced meal” and more “dessert with a side of coffee.”

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice
- 3 ¼ cups water
- 100 grams tablea chocolate
- 4 teaspoons black cocoa powder
- 400 ml. canned coconut milk preferably full-fat
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup condensed oat milk
Instructions
- Rinse the glutinous rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water, then bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce to low heat and simmer uncovered for 12-14 minutes until the rice is just cooked through.
- Stir in the chocolate pieces, black cocoa, coconut milk, coconut sugar, and salt. Stir well and continue simmering without a lid over medium-low heat for 12–15 minutes, or until the rice is very tender and the mixture has thickened to a porridge-like consistency. Stir frequently to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat and ladle into bowls. Drizzle each serving with condensed oat milk before serving.
Notes
🍫 Whisk Me Baby One More Time:
Stir frequently once the chocolate joins the pot—this isn’t a set-it-and-forget-it dish unless you’re into the taste of scorched cocoa. Treat it like chocolate risotto and give it your attention.
🍭 Sweet Dreams Are Made of This:
Taste as you go. Tablea chocolate can swing from pleasant to full drama-queen bitterness, so balance it with the right sugar level for your taste.
💧 Liquid Assets:
If reheating, add a splash of coconut milk or water to loosen the texture. Cold champorado tends to thicken like it’s auditioning for brownie batter.
