Bicerin is the hot beverage symbol of Torino: three layers of dense chocolate, espresso coffee and milk cream, served in a small glass without mixing. Born in 1763 at Caffè Al Bicerin.

Cavour, Nietzsche and Puccini were great admirers of it. Today it is a Heritage of the city of Torino.

Preparation

1
Melt the chocolate in hot milk using a double boiler.
2

3

4

5

6
Top with whipped cream.
7
Serve without mixing: the pleasure is in drinking through the three layers.

Chef's Tips

The three layers should NOT be mixed. Use transparent glass cups to appreciate the layers.
