Champorado is a popular Filipino dessert that is often enjoyed during breakfast or merienda (snack time). It is a sweet and delicious mixture of chocolate and rice and brings back memories of childhood for many Filipinos. Champorado is typically served with evaporated or sweetened condensed milk which gives it a creamy and rich taste.

Instructions

1.	Rinse the sweet rice with cool water.

5.	Add sugar and vanilla extract, stir to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens.
