0:41 Serving the Italian hot chocolate
Ingredients for making Italian hot chocolate:
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 1/2 cup milk
1-2 tbsp sugar
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp cocoa powder
4 oz dark chocolate
Whipped cream, cocoa powder/chocolate shavings for serving
Instructions for making homemade Italian hot chocolate:
- Start by making a slurry of corn starch and milk which we’re going to use to thicken the hot chocolate later
- Once the mixture is completely smooth set it aside and place a saucepan on your stove over medium low heat
- Add 1 cup of milk, a little granulated sugar, a pinch of salt and some good quality cocoa powder to your pot and whisk until it’s combined and lightly simmering
- At this point you can add some good quality dark chocolate then turn the heat off and pour in the cornstarch slurry
- You could also add other flavouring if you like, for instance a little peppermint extract would be super tasty
- Whisk until the chocolate has fully melted and it has thickened quite a bit
- It’s going to be much thicker than your average hot chocolate and the colour should be a rich dark brown
- Serve immediately with whipped cream and chocolate shavings then prepare to go into a blissful chocolate induced coma
