This isn't your typical biko! We took this kakanin dish and add tsokolate tablea to make it even more delicious. It's like eating champorado but without a bowl!

Tsokolate Biko

Takes 45 minutes
Makes 8 servings

2 cups water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 sweetened tsokolate tablea, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups malagkit rice
1/2 cup coconut cream
Butter, softened, as needed

1 Grease a 6-inch by 4-inch glass baking dish with softened butter. Set aside.

2 In a large saucepan over low heat, dissolve tsokolate tablea and sugar in water. Add and stir in malagkit and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, stirring occasionally to avoid burning the rice.

3 Stir in coconut cream, cover, and cook until mixture has absorbed the coconut. Scoop out and spread in the prepared dish. Cool completely. Once cool, slice and serve.
