Hello from your favorite food blog, 5 star cookies.
Since we still can’t travel 5 star cookies is bringing you the most chocolaty and coffee recipe called Bicerin.
Yes, I know. You never heard about it. Or maybe you did…Who cares. You are here and you are willing to learn more. More about the recipe that is so famous in Europe…
So, let me start with the title …
DESCRIPTION
Bicerin is a very traditional hot drink from Italy or to be more specific, it is from Turin. It is made of three very important layers: shot of espresso, layer of liquid chocolate and the final touch is cream that has been whipped slightly so that it floats. Can you feel the happiness in the air?
Of course you can. It is all because of the heavenly coffee drink full of chocolate, heavy cream and espresso. Life is good even if we can’t travel to Italy.
What is the most important when making the best coffee drink Bicerin?
I have to say the number 1 is good quality coffee. Yes, it is essential so please select your favorite brand name when making espresso at home.
BTW,this is my take on Bicerin and if you guessed that I will do it my way, you are right. And my way means way more whipped cream … more chocolate and so on…

Quick Note
Chocolate – use good quality, dark chocolate with 70% cocoa. For this recipe I used Lindt chocolate.
Heavy Cream – 33% or higher. Needs to be cold.
Serving glass cups – bicerin must be served in small glasses or transparent glass cups. Why? Because you want to see all 3 layers of happiness. (if you don’t have it, use what you have)
FINAL NOTE
Can I say again, chocolate + coffee + Italy = heaven even if your life is full of challenges right now.
Yes, the Bicerin is our escape drink when the borders are closed and we can not travel.
So, be kind to yourself and create a little Italy in your own kitchen. And don’t allow anybody to limit your joy.
