Peanut Butter Champorado (Filipino Chocolate Rice Porridge)

You know what would make champorado even better? Forget the usual suspects like salty fish, condensed milk, or a mountain of milk powder—everyone knows that. We’re talking about something new.

Peanut butter.

A dollop of salty, creamy peanut butter brings richness to your champorado while intensifying the chocolate’s deep, dark flavors. Go for an unsweetened option like Skippy if you want to fine-tune the overall sweetness. If you’re using local favorites like Lily’s, take note that it’s already on the sweeter side. A garnish of flaky salt brings out the peanut butter flavor even more.
