This Hazelnut Italian Hot Chocolate is honestly one of the most delicious drinks I have ever had in my life.

I actually developed the recipe for this thick Italian Hot Chocolate last spring, and while the recipe was amazing and definitely worth sharing, the photos did not do it justice and I really needed to show you how damn good this Italian Hot Chocolate really was.

My Hazelnut Italian Hot Chocolate recipe now really does check all the boxes \u2013 thick, indulgent, made with real chocolate, has Nutella, is easy to make, and you can make it a boozy hot chocolate, you\u2019re welcome! I used hazelnut liqueur in this Hazelnut Italian Hot Chocolate recipe, in both the thick hot chocolate itself and in the whipped cream! I cannot recommend hazelnut liqueur enough, it\u2019s creamy and so delicious (and I plan to use it in more recipes soon, so grab a bottle and get ready!). The brand I used is an Italian brand called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.serravinci.co.uk\/liqueurs.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Serravinci<\/a>\u00a0which can be hard to find, while not as cream <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2Bk0wQa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Frangelico<\/a>\u00a0would be a good substitute.\u00a0If you can\u2019t get your hands on some though, you can totally swap for some baileys\/Irish cream (even better if you can get the chocolate one), or even some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.littlesugarsnaps.com\/2017\/11\/15\/caramelised-white-chocolate-liqueur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener noreferrer\">Caramelised White Chocolate Liqueur<\/a>\/regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theflavorbender.com\/homemade-white-chocolate-liqueur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener noreferrer\">White Chocolate Liqueur\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 yum!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8155 size-full\" title=\"This Hazelnut Italian Hot Chocolate, or Cioccolata Calda alla Nocciola, is a seriously indulgent thick hot chocolate recipe made with real chocolate, hazelnut liqueur and Nutella. #hotchocolate #nutella #chocolate #italian\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atipsygiraffe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/hazelnut-italian-hot-chocolate-cioccolata-calda-alla-nocciola-6.jpg\" alt=\"Hazelnut Italian Hot Chocolate - two mugs of hot chocolate with whipped cream and sauce, hazelnuts being sprinkled on top\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atipsygiraffe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/hazelnut-italian-hot-chocolate-cioccolata-calda-alla-nocciola-6.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.atipsygiraffe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/hazelnut-italian-hot-chocolate-cioccolata-calda-alla-nocciola-6-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\/>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8058\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 150px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atipsygiraffe.com\/category\/chocolate-2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-8058\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atipsygiraffe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/chocolate-orange-baileys-truffles-6-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Chocolate Orange Baileys Truffles are a decadent chocolate treat everybody is going to love.
