Chocolate Rice Pudding

Also known as: champorado

Ingredients
1-1/4 cup dry rice (use sushi rice, if possible)
2 cups water
1 can coconut milk
1 cup oat milk (or other plant milk)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup cane sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar

Directions
Mix the cocoa powder with approximately 1 tablespoon water. It should form a thin paste. Add some extra water, if needed.

In a medium saucepan, bring the rice and water to a simmer. Add the coconut milk, oat milk, and cocoa paste. Simmer for 15 minutes. Stir every minute or two, to keep from sticking. Eventually the mixture will become thicker, but still a bit saucy.

Stir in the sugar. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes, until the mixture has thickened to something closer to oatmeal texture. Let stand for several minutes. Optional: serve with cream and/or sugar.
