This word is from the Spanish champurrado (a traditional hot drink in Latin America).
a chocolate-flavored rice porridge in the Philippines
In Cuba, champurrado is a drink defined as “una bebida a base de agua, azúcar y varias especias mezcladas con ron o aguardiente” while in Mexico, champurrado is “un atole de chocolate.”
Champorado (the most common spelling used by Filipinos) is made by cooking malagkit (sticky or glutinous rice) with cocoa powder. After placing the cooked mixture in a bowl, some milk is poured on top and oftentimes brown sugar is added. It is traditionally served with tuyo (dried fish) for breakfast, but is also a favorite snack.
These days, Filipinos rarely make champorado from scratch. We buy a champorado mix from the store. #aff White King is a popular brand. The prepared mix already contains the rice and cocoa powder. All you have to add is water and a large amount of sugar. And upon serving, drizzle on your choice of milk!
