Amore
for 2Italian Style Hot Chocolate
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch* or arrowroot
2 cups milk or half milk-half water Creation:
Mix the cocoa, sugar and cornstarch together until thoroughly blended.
Add 1/2 cup liquid to a medium saucepan and set over low heat. Whisk in the cocoa mixture until thoroughly incorporated and no lumps remain. Add the rest of the liquid.
Cook, stirring constantly using whisk, over medium-low heat, until the mixture is thickened (it coats the back of a spoon), about ten minutes.
Make It Yours:
Once the cocoa has thickened, you can stir in a hint of additional flavorings before serving:
1/4 tsp of:
vanilla or almond extract
or a liquior such as Grand Marnier , Pepperrmint , Banana , Frangelco
Presentation:
Serve in tea cups for the unexpected factor. Dust each serving with cinnamon or nutmeg. A small almond cookie or biscotti on the side ...
*cornstarch will not clump like flour.Its smooth and tasteless.
I think it is a great party!! How often are you planning on doing it? Every Thursday?

I entered my Laduree Hot Chocolate! Can't wait to see what the other contestants bring in!
ReplyDeleteYummy! I love hot chocolate and I can't believe I don't make it more often. I love it with chili peppers in it!
ReplyDeleteI went and checked out the links and now my mouth is watering. I'm going to link up a chocolate cupcake recipe I have.
I don't have any chocolate recipes to share. If I knew my aunt's secret Oreo pie recipe, I would rat her out, but I don't. :( I've never even gotten to eat a piece of it! It's so awful. Every SINGLE time we have our family reunion I get to hear about how wonderfully delicious her pie tastes, then when I go to get some for dessert after finishing my dinner, it's all gone! This past June, my cousin - my aunt's 13 year-old daughter, walked away with the last piece as I was going to get some. I was like, give it up, girl. You live with the baker; you can have this any time! Anway, I'll get off my chocolate box. Stopping by from LBS! :)
ReplyDeleteYUMMY!! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI have a chocolate recipe, but it is sinful....Ashley kind of invented it! I think it was part of the reason I had to have my gallbladder removed!
ReplyDeleteHugs.

ReplyDeleteBest reason for a linky list ever!!
ReplyDeleteAll my cooking tends to involved 4 ingredients or less, so I'm not a good source of recipes, but I make up for it by being an excellent roadtester of others' recipes (ie the piggy who eats them!).
Thanks for the awesome recipe. : )

Perfect post for this chocolate lover! Unfortunately, my hot chocolate recipe involves opening a package over hot water. :) So, I will definitely use this for inspiration to be more creative with my HC recipes. Have a great weekend, my friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful sounding chocolate party! Divine!
ReplyDeleteThat hot chocolate sounds ridiculously delicious!

Mmmm...I've just made your wonderful recipe! In fact, I'm sipping it even as I type! I haven't had hot chocolate as good as this since my stay in Paris last year. Thanks for sharing such an awesome recipe and for taking me back, so to speak, to Paris!
