Recipe Note:
Italian Style Hot Chocolate or Cioccolata Calda is nothing like American-style hot chocolate. Think of it like chocolate soup, Italian Style Hot Chocolate is thick, creamy, and much richer! Enjoyed during the cooler months and sometimes even eaten with a spoon, this can be served as a beverage or dessert.
