Curiosity

White hot chocolate is a more delicate and less bitter variant compared to classic hot chocolate made with dark or milk chocolate. White chocolate is mainly made up of cocoa butter, sugar, and milk, which is why the drink is sweeter and creamier. Additionally, by playing with spices like nutmeg or cinnamon, you can achieve even more interesting taste nuances.

If you prefer an extra Italian touch, you might consider adding a hint of hazelnut by adding a spoonful of hazelnut cream to your chocolate during the melting phase.
