Dark Chocolate Champorado

These past few days, I have been looking forward to cooking and eating comfort food. Comfort food is like recovery food for me. So I'd like to share this recipe - Dark Chocolate Champorado. It's an upgrade of our childhood favorite breakfast. 

Preparation Time: 5 Minutes 
Cooking Time: 20 Minutes

Ingredients: 

1 cup Glutinous Rice/Malagkit
3 cups Water
1 Piece Round Pure Tablea de Cacao
3/4 cup Dark Chocolate, chopped (I used Lindt)
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Milk (optional)
Chocolate curls for topping (optional)

Procedure:

1. Fill saucepan with water. Cook glutinous rice, stirring constantly until the rice is transparent in color and gooey in texture. You may add water if needed. 
2. Add Tablea, dark chocolate, white sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until the chocolate has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Serve in bowls, topped with chocolate curls and milk, if desired. 

Serves 2-3 persons.
