Italian Hot Chocolate - Cioccolato Caldo
"Italy is famous for their Cioccolato Caldo, especially during the fall and winter months. This hot chocolate is sometimes served so thick (like a pudding), that you need a spoon to actually eat it! this recipe doesn't make it that thick. The luxurious richness comes from using top-quality chocolate."

Scrumptious! I enjoy hot cocoa most nights and was concerned because this one had quite a bit less sugar then what I normally make, but this was really yummy and very satisfying. I made as written using a good quality dark chocolate bar that was 80% cacao solids. You know I will be making this again. Thanks for the post. -
OMG - this is fabulous!!! What a Valentine I gave myself by making this! I will most definitely be making this again. -
I made it for DS (only 1 serving). I should have used 3 ounces of dark chocolate but I guess I used only 1 ounce. I thought it was enough for him. And even only with 1 ounce, it was great. So creamy and delicious. I used whole milk. Thanks Annacia. Made for 123 hit wonders -
Delicious! This is so wonderful and chocolatey! Easy to make and my family enjoyed this little treat on a cold night. -
A rich, pleasing chocolate drink! I halved the recipe and used only 1 1/2 oz. dark chocolate and felt it was just right! Thank you Annacia! Made for Photo tag.
