Hot chocolate in Italy




After a longish break I am back for Black and White Wednesday, organized by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook. Today's photo is of hot chocolate, with cream. It seems that a lot of cafes now serve cream on the side, and not on top of the chocolate (btw, in Italy  hot chocolate is very dense and strong, yum!), this café even gave us a dark chocolate tablet on top of the cream! Triple calories!!! But real hot chocolate is a bit of a weakness of mine... do you like hot chocolate??

    Credo di essere una delle poche al mondo che si prepara la cioccolata calda per merenda anche nel deserto con 50 gradi, vedi tu se mi piace o meno...

    Un abbraccio :-)

    Alessandra, io devo confessare che non amo molto la cioccolata in genere, nè in tazza, nè la crema arcinota, poco cioccolatini e tavolette, ma la tua foto rende benissimo la bontà e ti auguro di deliziarti con le eccellenze gastronomiche italiane...approfitta, tanto poi basta stare a dieta!!
    ciao loredana

    Oh I would LOVE the hot chocolate from Italy! Dense and strong? Nice. I probably enjoy that more than too sweet American hot chocolate. But I still drink it because it's quite addicting. Welcome back and I look forward to your new posts!

    Bellissima foto! Per via del latte non posso godermi una cioccolata calda se non a casa, però densa, fumante e spesso poco dolce è perfetta.
    E il cioccolatino fondente dopo un ottimo espresso???
    In attesa dell'Epifania rinnovo i miei auguri a te ed ai tuoi cari

    Beautiful black and white photo of the hot chocolate. I love the idea of the cream on the side, plus it makes a more beautiful composition.

    Hot Chocolate sounds wonderful and we could have cuddled up with a cup when the nasty southerly blew through at the weekend:o)
