Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup glutinous rice - soak for 15 minutes before cooking
  • 2 ½ cups water
  • ½ cup ube halaya You can also use ube extract, pre-frozen, thawed ube, or ube powder
  • ¼ cup sugar adjust more to taste sweeter
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup evaporated milk
  • ½ cup regular coconut milk
  • Optional: Salted dried fish tuyo

Instructions

Prepare the Rice

  • Wash and soak the rice for 15 minutes and drain the water. Then, in a medium-sized pot, combine the glutinous rice, coconut milk, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.

Cook the Rice

  • Once you get the mix to boil, reduce the heat to low and let the rice low simmer until tender, 15 minutes.

Add the Ube

  • Gradually stir the ube into the pot of rice, ensuring it blends well. Use a whisk for best blending. Cook over low until the rice is tender (not overly soft, but just right).
    ½ cup ube halaya

Sweeten and Season

  • Add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust the sweetness as desired. Stir well until fully incorporated.
    ¼ cup sugar, Pinch of salt

Serve Warm

Notes

  • For a richer flavor to the ube rice pudding, use more coconut milk as part of the liquid base.
  • Champorado is usually sweet, add more or less sugar per your taste.
  • Adjust the thickness by adding more water or milk during cooking.
  • For an authentic taste in ube champorado, use natural Filipino ube halaya or real ube instead of ube extract. Then, add the salted dried fish on top.
