Chef's Notes
Thick Italian hot chocolate is practically pudding in a mug, so treat it with the respect it deserves and never walk away from the stove.
Pro Tip
Use high-quality cocoa powder for an intensely rich flavor that will make your guests think you spent hours in a Parisian patisserie.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Turning the stove on high to speed things up, resulting in a scorched, bitter disaster stuck to the bottom of your pan.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
The Jester wonders why we drink liquid pudding; perhaps if we cooked it any longer, we could simply cut it into slices and call it a chocolate brick.
The Culinary Science
Cornstarch molecules need heat and moisture to gelatinize, swelling up to trap liquid and create that signature velvety, spoon-coating thickness.

Beverage Integrity Protocol
Storage Science
Store in a tightly sealed glass container in the refrigerator to prevent the absorption of ambient odors. Consume within 2-3 days. If it contains dairy, consume within 48 hours.
Reheating Science
If this is a hot beverage, reheat gently on the stovetop without bringing it to a rolling boil, which can scorch sugars and scald dairy proteins.
