How to Make Umbrian Fantasy Hot Chocolate

  1. In a small saucepan, gently heat 1 cup of half-and-half over medium heat. Stir occasionally until small bubbles form around the edges (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. Reduce heat to low. Add 1/2 cup of Nutella to the warm half-and-half and whisk continuously until completely smooth and well combined.
  3. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder until no lumps remain. Continue whisking for 1 minute to ensure the arrowroot is fully incorporated.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, whisking constantly to prevent sticking. Simmer for 1 minute.
  5. Remove from heat immediately.
  6. Spoon 1-2 teaspoons of Nutella into the bottom of each of 6 demitasse cups.
  7. Carefully pour the hot chocolate mixture over the Nutella in each cup.
  8. Serve immediately with demitasse spoons for enjoying the Nutella at the bottom.
