Cioccolata Calda
Particularly in Spain and Italy, hot chocolate is sometimes served very thick, one of the thick forms of hot chocolate served in Europe is the Italian cioccolata calda. So what makes Italian hot chocolate different from other kinds? Italian hot chocolate is thicker, creamier, and generally much richer than traditional American hot chocolate, which is less dense and milkier. It is made with a few key ingredients: cocoa, sugar, and milk. In some cases, a little dark chocolate and a thickening agent, such as cornstarch, are added as well. It can be served on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream.
