One of the best things about cold winter months is the comeback of hot chocolate. The cold is just another excuse to tuck away in an Italian café and spend the afternoon enjoying an indulgent cup of Cioccolata Calda.
Now put away all your preconceptions of hot chocolate for a moment because the Italian drinking chocolate we’re talking about here is far from the powdered version you used to seeing at the grocery store. Italian hot chocolate is much, much, thicker in consistency than American hot chocolate. Cioccolata Calda sits somewhere between our notion of hot drinking chocolate and pudding, yes, pudding. This smooth and decadent cup of hot chocolate is sure keep you warm throughout winter. Drink it alone, or use a spoon if you are so inclined.
