italian hot chocolate


I was looking through some travel guides (what else is new) and I read something about how Italian hot chocolate is different from the American, very liquid, hot chocolate. It is supposedly a lot thicker and richer. This made me curious, and I happened upon a recipe via Lucullian delights for "dense hot chocolate" I think I may try come some frigid day...

DENSE HOT CHOCOLATE
2 rather big cups
4 tblsp high quality cocoa powder
3-4 tblsp sugar
4 tblsp corn starch
400 ml/1,7 cup milkspices or some other desired flavour

- Mix cocoa, sugar and corn starch very well.
- Pour milk into a pan and then add the dry ingredients while you whisk.
- Bring to the boil under constant stirring until it has reached the desired density.
- Drink and enjoy!

Probably horrid for your health, but what can I say, I have a sweet tooth!
