Champorado, a concoction of chocolate, milk, and rice, is usually served hot with a side of tuyo or dilis. But if you still want to enjoy this Filipino breakfast and merienda favorite even though the weather is starting to get hot, then maybe you should try its ice cream version!
Elait!, a local brand that sells handcrafted ice cream and yogurt, introduced a new flavor just in time for the summer: Champorado Ice Cream.

Cold champorado
The new flavor is “made with rich bittersweet chocolate, luscious milk powder, and rice crispies for that extra crunch,” Elait! said. Now, you don’t have to wait for colder days to enjoy champorado.
