Champorado is a Filipino porridge made from sweet glutinous rice and cocoa powder. If this rich chocolatey rice porridge doesn't get you perked up in the morning, we don't know what else will. You can also serve it as an afternoon snack for an energy boost.
In this Champorado with tablea recipe we will be using chocolate tablea (chocolate tablets) for a more authentic flavour. Cacao chocolate tablets are made from pure cacao beans that have been fermented, roasted, ground, and molded into round disks, balls or pods. Pure tablets are unsweetened. These can be a bit difficult to find for any champorado with tablea recipe.
Thankfully, you won't have to search very far as you can buy chocolate-maker grade tablea from us here at The Koko Samoa! You'll love the taste of Samoan cacao beans all the way from the gorgeous pacific islands.
