Cinnamon Vanilla Italian Hot Chocolate

This chocolate has a pronounced taste of cinnamon and vanilla. When I hear the phrase “Italian hot chocolate,” I immediately remember the bicherin that I tried in a coffee shop in Turin on the square in front of the royal palace. And although my recipe has nothing to do with bicherin, it is just as tasty and aromatic.
