Description

Just so you’re not surprised when you taste this, Italians don’t typically have the sweet tooth that Americans do, so this might not be as “sweet” as you’d like it to be. But it’s the way it’s supposed to be, so resist the urge to add more sugar. Please be sure to use a good quality chocolate. The best you can find. The higher the cacao % the better. Just sayin’.

Ingredients

  • 3-⅝ ounces, weight Good Quality Bittersweet Chocolate 70% Cacao Or Higher
  • 1-½ cup Whole Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Cornstarch

Preparation

Into a saucepan over LOW heat, add your chocolate and a smidge of the milk and stir with a wooden spoon until melted. SLOWLY add in the rest of the milk until it’s well combined. Add in the sugar, mix well and then whisk in the corn starch. Continue cooking over LOW heat until it becomes thick and creamy and coats the back of the wooden spoon.

Optional: you can top this with fresh whipped cream, a dash of cinnamon or even a dash of chili powder (if you’re adventurous).

Buon Appetito!
