Growing up in the Philippines until I was nine years old, I spent my early elementary school years eating many classic Filipino breakfast faves from silken tofu with tapioca and brown sugar sauce (Taho), to this Spanish-inspired Chocolate Rice Pudding, traditionally called, Champorado.
Bits of sweet rice, cooked slowly with cocoa powder until it turns into a think porridge-like texture, then swirled with a drizzle of evaporated or whole milk makes this breakfast treat almost too good to be eaten before school!
I made this recipe overnight in my slow cooker – and whoa! The house smelled so amazing that it didn’t take long to wake the kids after they took a whiff of that chocolately aroma when their heads peeked above their blankies.
Try it!

2 cups of sweet rice
3 cups of water

Yum! I make champorado all the time, but never thought of putting it in a slow cooker! Sounds like a must do! Will make this during this winter break! Fortunately for me, I’m the only one who really likes champorado in my family. So I know what my breakfast will be all next week…
I was just looking for a sweet dish to make in my Crock Pot, and this is the perfect fall dish! Thanks so much, can’t wait to give it a try!
Sounds delicious! I have to try it. There’s a rice pudding recipe I love from the Nourishing Traditions cookbook. It uses brown rice but it’s so yummy.
I hope you do give it a whirl! I think any rice would be great with this recipe.
Dad and I loved making this on the weekends – we’d add dried cherries or dates too
Yum!!! That sounds perfect for the Fall – chocolate and cherries!
This looks amazing and am wanting to try it but you don’t say how much evaporate or whole milk goes in the slow cooker just that you drizzle some after cooking.
Hi Kim! No evaporated milk goes in the slow cooker. You drizzle it on top after the pudding is finished. Enjoy!
Who knew that rice pudding could be made in a slow cooker?! It’s GENIUS!
Isn’t it! No time spending stirring over the stove. Turn it on and go to bed. When you wake up, breakfast!!
