Finally, finally the heat is ending,  and today as I look out the window we are having a much needed down pour.

It’s cool, sweater weather, which I love. So naturally I am making one of our favourite Casseroles, Creamy Tuna Noodle Casserole for lunch,  and this afternoon I will be making a pot of this …

Delicious Baileys Thick Italian Hot Chocolate to sip on in front of the TV this afternoon.

I am not a big liqueur lover but I can never say no to Baileys,  I love it straight up over ice and now in a Thick Italian Hot Chocolate.

When I first came to Italy I remember making my friends a steaming cup my Native Hot Chocolate,  at first I didn’t know why they said “well this is different”,  but good!

So one day my kids were telling me about Italian Hot Chocolate and how lick-your-lips-yummy it was and after I tried it,  I totally understood what my kids and friends were talking about.

Yes it was different and it was certainly tasty. If you like your hot chocolate plain, no problem just leave out the Baileys.

        I followed the recipe by the book, and this was the sweetest hot cocoa I ever had in my life. Waaaaay too much sugar!!! The sugar should be completely removed and the use of chocolate quantity should be massively reduced.
        Sadly, we couldn’t finish our cups with my boyfriend, what a waste of good ingredients. 🙁

          Hi Tisa, I don’t know what kind of chocolate you added but dark chocolate is not sweet, and 2 tablespoons of sugar is not very much.

          If you check other Italian Hot CHocolate Recipes, it would have the same amount of sugar and dark chocolate. However, the other recipe also says to use unsweetened cocoa. There is also sugar in the Bailey’s which may not have been taken into consideration.

        Instead of corn starch why not just add some
        Chocolate instant pudding ? That would give you the thickness that you want no!

          Hi Chantal, I don’t know, I don’t use instant pudding or pie filling or cake mixes. I am sharing the way Italians make it and they use cornstarch. Hope that helps. 🙂

        Delicious. As a chocolate lover I always felt that traditional hot chocolate was lacking. This is AMAZING! Never making it any other way.

        Hi
        Can this hot chocolate be made earlier and then reheated to be served later during a party/get together?!?
        Thanx

          Hi Rads, I have never re heated it and then served it, but I think it should work, just keep stirring it on low while reheating. Let me know how it goes. Have a great weekend.

          Hi Christine I bought the spoons in a store in Italy near me. That is the only place I have ever seen them, I thought they were so cute. 🙂

          This is a fairly old post at this point, so you may have found them.

          At any rate, if not, Amazon carries them. Just copy and paste in your search bar, “HSE 5 Pcs Stainless Steel Spoon Bending Hanging Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Spoon Bent Suspension Jam Spoon.”

          Hope this helps!
