To serve:
- 2 tablespoon fresh whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk the cornstarch, cocoa and sugar in a small saucepan.
- Pour the warm milk into the saucepan.
- Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, whisking often to avoid lumps.
- Bring the hot chocolate mixture almost to a light boil, then reduce the heat to low and fold in the chopped dark chocolate.
- Whisk the hot chocolate until thick and creamy, adding more sugar if you like it sweeter.
- Divide the Italian hot chocolate among two cups, top with whipped cream and serve.
Notes
- How to store your leftover Italian hot chocolate:
- Fridge: Let it cool down completely, then pour it into an airtight container. It’ll stay good for about 3 days in the fridge.
- Reheat: Reheat it on low heat on the stove or in the microwave. Stir it well to bring back its smooth, creamy texture.
- Freezer: Want to save it for longer? Freeze hot chocolate in ice cube trays. Just pop a few cubes in a mug, add some milk, and warm it up for a quick treat.
