Cioccolata Calda | Thirsty For ...

[@MegCollins35]

I went to Italy eight years ago and we stayed in Florence for three days. Every morning my sister and I would be up WAY too early and we'd be downstairs waiting for breakfast. A woman came downstairs and we were just sitting there waiting (My sister was 6 and I was 8) for our family to wake up. She made us this hot chocolate, and we had it for the next two mornings we were in Florence. It was Heaven in a cup. I've always wondered what it was called, and until now I could never find out a recipe. Of course it's just hot chocolate, in Italian! I think I will make this for my family on a Sunday morning and surprise them. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Tastemade, not only did you bring me a great recipe, you brought back really fond memories of the greatest trip of my life. :)

[@Tastemade]

What a great story - thanks for sharing!

[@shess1640]

but is it just hot chocolate? The cornstarch makes me think it is more of a pudding.

[@espben360]

@@shess1640the consistency of it is like pudding and needs to be. That’s what makes it “Ciccolota calda “

[@AriyeleRessler]

this series does good for humankind. everywhere.

[@Sywi12]

The looks and the music of this vid were outstanding. Thanks for sharing

[@LyricsGoddess]

The editing, the music, the info... You guys are AMAZING!!! Please never stop this show I enjoy it so much.

[@stephiskhan]

These camera angles are insane. The lighting. The editing. So well done. Swoon.

[@hannahrusch7350]

Currently in Italy right now and I am pretty much told every day that this is a "must get item" before I leave.

[@onemartinitwo]

I do not want Thirsty For... to end! Can it just be a continuous part of every single Sunday for the rest of my life, please?

[@jonesadrockable]

Half and half for those who don't know is equal parts whole milk and cream mixed for the richness of cream but with a lower fat content

[@ornellabi]

I love the music and the editing these Thirsty For... video series has! The music is so relaxing, and correct for every country.

[@mayalarks6622]

Love the slo-mo bit when the text hit the cornstarch. All the visuals are amazing.

[@lavendersky4608]

When I'm feeling down your videos cheer me up! Thank you!😊

[@mackenziet1463]

That was the most beautiful food video I have ever seen! Many of the other best food videos are also on tastemade so thank you very much!

[@leekymkween]

I had this at a Spanish chocolate restaurant and i fell in love with it's richness and consistency! The western watered down hot chocolate can't even compete with this!

[@eleonorap.8067]

The only truly positive thing of winter in Rome... It's perfect for everything: lazy and cold days, exams, heartbreak... Pure love in a cup!

[@makeupiml]

Beautiful editing! Loved the "whisking with the rhythm" moment, just perfect.

[@GottaLuvIt470]

This video got me in the holiday spirit for some reason! Love it!

[@asmithasandra]

I love how this series is filmed!

[@jerih5706]

Beautifully shot, but what makes it perfect is the music. Salute!

[@Fox786-n2d]

OMG... I went to Milan a few years ago during winter and stopped by a cafe for hot chocolate, it was the best hot chocolate I have had in my life and I always wondered how it was made!! I am so happy I found this vid!

[@thewrongtrousers2]

Simply loved the look of this video. Slowmotion always does one good!

[@jaspalmer1730]

Doesn't youtube have restrictions on displaying pornographic material?

[@CherokeeWard]

Jasmin Palmer what?...oh that's like funny an not funny at once

[@tiffgirl]

+AfroAssassin 666 (Cherokee Ward) i thought it was funny :P

[@kimmyjosive5055]

+AfroAssassin 666 (Cherokee Ward) so did i

[@nadjaalvarado8219]

Its not even porn related

[@jaspalmer1730]

Nadja Alvarado omg...honestly, if you don't get the joke, just keep it moving and don't reply.

[@gerardfitz6670]

The music is just so soothing to listen to..

[@cartiluvr666]

I absolutely love the slow motion close up shots!!! Brava :)

[@cy24]

This looks so rich & delicious. Thanks for sharing!

[@Namispage]

[@cindykhalista9297]

[@doug]

[@01IndieCindie]

This is the most beautiful video on this website.

[@SnazzSnzWarsaw]

Incredible!! Looks delicious, beautifully edited, and absolutely wonderful. :D

[@crcanassr]

This is sooo goood! Nothing like going into a restaurant in a rainy day in Venice, Milano, Roma, Firenze, Napoli, you name, Italy, and get one of these....

[@Lioness006]

this looks delicious. I so want to dip stuff in it. biscotti, cookies, fruit.. yum

[@nellytrucbui]

Your videos are getting better and better everyday (: I love it

[@mayaelenas]

This video made me feel all giddy like seeing my crush at school. Seeing the chocolate being shaved into shards gave me a mini heart attack

[@JIAHAW-NG]

I have been subscribe this channel so long and still my best and fav channel about gorgeous food channel

[@PolishMarinade]

I love love this series!

[@beautyhealthylife]

Awesome video editing!!! Can't stop watching!!!!

[@FoodluvbitesBlogspot]

Wow I love the video editing, forgot I was looking to see how its made. Creative indeed.

[@liliyagarcia3095]

I made this yesterday and it tasted amazing, not like the original Italian chocolate that I had, but still delicious

[@0001powpow]

This is pretty much just eating ganache out of a cup...

[@ScathachWarrior]

I may or may not be guilty of doing that... >.> The professionals call it "tasting" things as you cook, so I'm told.

[@Elyanley]

Well, actually.. not quite, in germany, this is pretty much our Pudding. XD Though we wait till it cools down usually and when its even thicker and a really nice dessert. Omg, I need to make some tomorrow.

[@nadkudo1798]

I would rather call it heart attack in a cup.. lol

[@nadkudo1798]

also that, probably lol

[@PeregrineHawthorn]

Nad Kudo But chocolate is good for you, right? ;)

[@samjones0528]

The most romantic cooking video I've watched thanks to the beautiful song.

[@CrazyPotatos]

Seriously these are my favorite videos

[@diinalens]

YES, finally something italian! so chuffed to spot a little Baiocchi biscuit at the end.. and people don't worry, you could drink 5 cups and still want more!

[@Meemzz15]

I just made this and it is by far better than regular hot chocolate!!

[@chocodonutella]

The hot water is used only to warm the cups and discarded before pouring in chocolate liquid. It helps keep the beverage hot longer.

[@Beachgirl1950]

A chocoholic's dream drink!! Thanks.

[@vickychen2881]

i just love your editing!

[@aarond9563]

These videos are very high quality. I commend you on that.

[@fashionablyme8518]

this is way better than the straight up liquid stuff! thanx so much im never going back to it again

[@suzanamarieXD]

Such gorgeous editing!

[@MeredithEveritt]

This makes me miss Perugia!! So gooooood!

[@blackjade96]

Oh man guys, I love this week's upload, it's absolutely perfect! And also, what kind of chocolate would you recommend for this recipe? A 60-70% cacao?

[@tuhreuhh]

i love the recipe, but if i just watched the video and didnt read the recipe in full i would have never known (from the video) that you need to mix it with hot water before serving...bc you show it served as is. I'm sure both ways are delicious!

[@PhyskoaNarkaios]

You don't add hot water to the chocolate; you use it to warm the cup up before pouring in the chocolate. The directions say to pour hot water into mug, pour it out, and dry the mug.

[@Thefreshp]

Beautifully presented. Yummy, just not sure about 1/2 and 1/2 and cornstarch. Why not just heavy cream and chocolate?

[@tessalow8539]

then that would just be a chocolate ganache, which is not a drink. the cornstarch just makes it thicker and the half and half is to make it richer. explains the food porn

[@pattywoodard1153]

I would think it would work, might make it too rich though using straight cream. You have very little to lose mixing chocolate and cream, it's got to taste good! lol To me, this recipe is a little to thick for my liking, more like chocolate pudding, but you can't go wrong no matter which way you eat/drink it.

[@MoonlightIllusionist]

I had this when I went to Italy. So good.

[@purelisianthus]

wow..i love how you filmed this video...u are awesome

[@samanthaferguson-wolfe9135]

That was the most attractive chocolate thing I have ever seen 0.0

[@shahryarraza9064]

This video was just...brilliant.

[@MrFugbuddy]

Wow i think this is the most sensual food tutorial I have seen in a while

[@SteveInScotland]

I've always wondered how they make this super thick hot chocolate, now I know, thanks

[@shalthepastryqueen]

This is, by far, the SEXIEST video you guys have made:) The manner in which it was filmed, the speed, the music, and the shaving of the chocolate was beautiful

[@joydubyadee]

Looks so delish. Reminds me of hot chocolate I had in Rome.

[@Sorairo08]

Your videos are amazing! such perfection...wow!

[@mariaahhkamran]

I cant believe you are doing Kashmiri Chai next week... Love to see your interpretation of it.

[@user-mg6fb7ix1q]

finally a real hot chocolate I was tired of going twice a day in the bar to get a hot chocolate so I wanted to do one by my own but every recipe I found was awful it was like I was drinking a hot cocoa

[@Triberetgoddess]

I like to add espresso to mine to thin it out, technically I know that it makes it a mocha, but I don't care. Sooo good!!

[@talithapennings7237]

This was really beautiful for some reason.

[@perfectly_unstable]

its like chocolate pudding that loves you back.

[@wastedyouthoftoday]

just made this and it is delicious!

[@dragonslady18]

Just made this! Delicious!

[@DAGuy726]

I had this with churros when I was in Cabo, it was so good.

[@RisaBoon]

This is just like spanish "hot chocolate" (chocolate caliente)! Here we normally eat it with "churros". In fact, we call it "chocolate con churros". And it's just AWESOME in the cold winter!! ^.^ Enjoy it!

[@charlies86angel]

Ooooohyes. Once I tried this variety, I never went back to the watery variety. This. Is. Scrumptious.

[@ChiaraThijssen]

I would love to see an elderflower cordial recipe from you guys! Especially with the elderflower season on it's way :)

[@thedivinehostess]

It really came together beautifully!

[@Taniechka2]

Супер !!! Прекрасная песня и видео !!

[@blablabla1234800]

I just saw like one video of yours and subscribed.....love the way you present and design the video. ..so creative MashaAllah.....its like being in a drinks only dream..hehe

[@bunnyameri4542]

Y'all got my mouth waterin

[@ssshuksss]

the music was very soothing....

[@PumpkinPails]

I don't think I could drink this. Maybe dip some strawberries and cookies into it, but to drink an entire cup? I think I'd go into a sugar/chocolate coma for a month.

[@RaeynaFicst]

the interesting bit is that there are only 2 tablespoons of sugar and 6oz of chocolate (dark chocolate, which won't have very much sugar) in the whole thing - to be split between 4 people. (so that's half a tablespoon of sugar in one mug - people do that much and more in their coffee). Yes, there's a bunch of cream, but it's the cornstarch that makes it thick. One can of soda-pop has 4 tablespoons of sugar. If you'd drink a can of soda with a meal, I don't see a problem with this. (Health-content-wise, I do recognize that maybe you just can't deal with large doses of heavy texture and taste).

[@RaeynaFicst]

RaeynaFicst I'm not sure I worded that in the best way. I just mean to say that it's interesting to look at what the actual ingredients mean as a health choice (and I'm certainly not labeling this a healthy drink), and comparing it to other choices we and others make, separate from the tasting experience. Indulge in whatever way you like to most. And dipping cookies and fruit into this sounds divine.

[@philaphobic]

This is more like chocolate pudding than pure melted chocolate.

[@aztectemplar]

RaeynaFicst Totally agree with RaeyaFicst. This thing has barely 2 TBS of sugar plus Dark Chocolate which is actually healthy. Split into 4 people. I truly fail to see where the coma would come from.

[@colleenb777]

I kinda thought the same thing, but I made this tonight, and it was drink-drank-drunk in a flash and SO YUMMY! Worth a try, and thin it out to your own preference, who is gunna know?

[@Sh3lli3R]

This look great!!! I would thin it out just a little more for me.....

[@andreacaro301997]

This looks so good...

[@colleenb777]

I made this tonight with chocolate chips! SOOOO GOOD AND RICH! It was like drinking chocolate gravy!

[@Theinterstellarcat]

Best video ever!!!

[@nannatrytek942]

That chocolate, is like foodporn!!:o

[@glosshoney]

I think it would taste great with a platter of fondue fodue such as pound cake, marshmallows, strawberries!

[@ipsobond21]

i love this channel!

[@xTwistedxRagex]

This video looks like a f**king movie! Needless to say I love this show.

[@Crux161]

This video made me smile -- like a knee jerk reflex. Weird lol -- this looks amazing, going to have to try it some day

[@YsabetJustYsabet]

Mother-Goddess on stilettos, this stuff is decadent. Just made a one-person batch and I think I need some Alone Time after I finish it; it's that amazing. One thing to remember if you're an American: The '4 servings' made are Italian-style demitasse cups, just a tad more than 1/2 cup total and nowhere near the hefty coffeemugs of those of us in the U.S.-- and a good thing, too, because I'm not certain I could manage a full mug! It's like the creamiest, darkest of warm chocolate puddings with just a little less stiffness. Worth the trouble, believe me!

[@DudeWiz]

wow, I gotta make this for my next winter party

[@irqigurl]

Can you guys please make "Chai Noomi Basra" dried Basra lemon tea, popular in the beautiful country of Iraq.?

[@SpikeyPillowz]

that corn starch shot was epic...

[@kokiedoe]

This was so beautiful

[@AndHisNameWasYeti]

The slow motion was very necessary for this video.

[@xXXLittleNekoXXx]

This is insanely good

[@amaltv39]

Wonderful and I like the music :)

[@IsiTurner]

Beautiful camera work!

[@yougottabehilikus]

amazing, but what is half&half?

[@JagheterHedda]

half milk half cream

[@Becckkoni]

Half and half is half light cream and half milk. Many people like to put it in their coffee instead of full cream for the lower fat content. You can find it in pints or half-gallons at the grocery store, or just mix equal parts cream/milk. In the non-US, it's sometimes called "half cream."

[@LadyKatyRae]

Its half milk half heavy cream if im not mistaken.

[@yougottabehilikus]

thanks everyone!

[@EdsonYamamoto]

LadyKatyRae thanks my nigga.

[@gabrielbrave1]

Possibly the sexiest cooking video I've ever seen.

[@eternalrz]

... I need to make this...

[@DHP_]

I did it but with hersheys... The best hot drink i ever taste.

[@benisturning30]

Mmmmm...hot chocolate pudding.
