Champorado Ampaw
This Champorado Ampaw is a two Filipino recipes in one! Inspired by the Filipino breakfast dish made with rice and chocolate. Ampaw is the Filipino version of a rice Krispy treat. It's finished with a dusting of milk powder. Just like champorado!
Course: Dessert, Merienda
Cuisine: Filipino
Servings: 12 Servings
- 4 Cups Puffed Rice
- 1 Cup Dark Chocolate Buttons
- ¼ Cup Coconut Oil
- ½ Cup Honey
- Pinch of salt
- ⅓ Cup Milk Powder (to serve)
Place the 4 cups of puffed rice in a large bowl.
Add the 1 cup of chocolate buttons, ¼ cup coconut oil, ½ cup honey and pinch of salt in a sauce pan. Place on the stove and turn the heat to medium.
Heat up for about 5-7 minutes until the chocolate has completely melted and the sides of the mixture starts to boil and bubble. Turn off the heat.
Then pour it in to the bowl with the puffed rice in it. Mix the Champorado Ampaw until all the puffed rice is covered in chocolate.
You can either put the Champorado Ampaw in a 6 inch silicon cake mold, or any other cake mold. Alternatively you can also scoop out a portion and form it into a ball with your hands. I find using a silicon mold is so much easier. However you do you! If you do use a mold make sure it's silicon as it's so much easier to pop it out. Really pack in the coated rice puffs to make sure that there are empty pockets, especially in the middle.Place in the freezer for about 15-30 minutes to harden. Unmold it and place on a serving platter.
Then cover the top with some milk powder.
To serve cut into smaller pieces and have a bowl of milk powder on the side. It's best to be eaten on the same day.
