  1. Can I just point out the chocolate chunks are totally optional?
    The hot chocolate served in Italian cafés hasn't any added to it, nor the one we usually cook at home (just cocoa powder, salt, corn starch, milk, and very little sugar). It's still delicious 😋

  2. Hi Emma, im a long time subscriber of yours and your recipes never fail to amuse me, was wondering if you have a boston cream pie recipe?

  3. We have went to Italy last week and we always drink this which we fell in love with. Thank you for sharing this recipe will definitely make it along with your cinnamon roll recipe it’s the bestttt.

  4. ❤❤ thanks for your ideas and lessons learned 🌷🌷🌷🌷 greetings from the Netherlands 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

  5. Maybe it's just me, but this is calling out for a buttery croissant to be dipped in it.😋 Thanks so much Emma and Merry Christmas!🌲❤🙏🏽

  6. It's easier if your make a slurry with the cornstarch and a bit of cold water or milk and then you mix it in with the rest of the liquid that is warming in the pan.

  7. Merry Christmas and Happy holidays Miss Emma! I'd love to make this for my friend some day. She would love it

  8. this is a wonderful hot cocoa from scratch recipe and just in time for the holidays too! growing up with Italian dishes this version will most certainly be a hit in my household. best part is I find myself typically reducing a recipe to a single serving size for myself anyway and since fresh is always best this is super helpful as it's much easier to multiply the recipe for a bigger crowd if needed. this couldn't be more perfect, thank you!

  9. Buone Feste Emma! I love Italian Hot Chocolate the best. I will try this. Yum!

  10. Buone Feste Emma! I love Italian Hot Chocolate the best. I will try this. Yum!

  11. That is definitely going to be my best warming routine this winter 🍫😍🥰🥰😋😋😋

  12. My husband was stationed in Italy for 7 years and he doesn't remember hot chocolate being thick like that.

  13. This looks just like the chocolate pudding i just made myself ^^
    I prefer my hot chocolate to have a thinner consistency.
