Creating your own Champorado can be enjoyable and rewarding! Follow these steps to make this incredible dish:

1. Rinse the Rice: Wash the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
2. Cook the Rice: In a pot, combine the rinsed rice with 4 cups of water. Bring it to a boil over medium heat.
3. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, covering the pot and allowing the rice to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until it’s tender and sticky.
4. Prepare Chocolate Mixture: While the rice is cooking, in a separate bowl, mix the cocoa powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
5. Combine: Once the rice is cooked, stir in the cocoa mixture and the can of evaporated milk. Ensure the mixture is well combined.
6. Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more water or milk until you achieve your desired thickness.
7. Taste and Adjust: Taste the Champorado and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar.
8. Serve: Ladle the Champorado into bowls and serve hot.

Champorado is best enjoyed right after preparing it, but it can also be stored in the fridge for a few days. Remember to reheat with a splash of milk or water when serving again!
