Here at MaryRuth’s, our company enjoys a monthly “fun lunch” together — virtually, of course! 

We recently had an educational, inspirational, and FUN lunch together learning more about Filipino culture through some of our team members in the Philippines. As a part of this lunch, employees had the option to cook a popular Filipino dish — champorado!

Champorado is a tasty, chocolatey rice pudding often enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack. With a rich, smooth texture, this dish typically includes ingredients like glutinous or sticky rice, sugar, and condensed milk. We’ve updated the recipe just a bit for our sugar-free, dairy-free, and vegan friends, so this recipe can fit into many lifestyles! 

Feel free to adjust the recipe to your dietary needs, and let us know how you followed or changed up your version of this delicious Filipino porridge.

Vegan & Sugar-Free Champorado Recipe

An updated twist on this traditional Filipino rice porridge with wellness support! 

Ingredients

• ¼ Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (Adjust to Taste)
• 1 ¾ Cup Sushi Rice
• ¾ Cup Monkfruit Sweetener
• 6-8 Cups Water
• Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk (To Taste)
• Salt Flakes (Optional)
• MaryRuth’s Magnesium Calm Liposomal or Functional Mushrooms Liposomal

Instructions

1. Pour water into a cooking pot and bring to a boil.
2. Put in the cocoa powder and stir. Let it dissolve in boiling water.
3. Add in the rice and let the water re-boil. Set the heat to low-medium and stir almost constantly to avoid sticking. The rice should be ready when it absorbs the water (about 15-25 minutes).
4. Add the monkfruit crystals and stir until they dissolve.
5. Transfer the champorado into individual bowls and top with condensed milk.
6. Optionally, drizzle your favorite MaryRuth’s liposomal on top for added wellness and top with salt flakes!
