Bicerin
Bicerin, the famous sweet speciality of Turin, is made from rich hot chocolate and strong espresso, topped with cold whipped cream. Use a glass so you can see all three layers. Add a little caster sugar to the chocolate if you enjoy it a little sweeter.
Ingredients
90g semi-sweet chocolate (62% cocoa or higher), chopped
250ml whole milk
espresso or very strong coffee
chilled, softly whipped, sweetened cream (add ½ - 1 tbsp icing sugar to 200ml whipped cream)
Method
Melt the chopped chocolate in milk over a medium heat. Whisk together.
Fill the bottom third of a clear, heat-resistant glass with the warm chocolate mixture.
Pour in some espresso or strong coffee - pour it over the back of a spoon, into the glass.
Top with a swirl of sweetened, whipped cream – grate a little chocolate over the top, not essential but delicious!
