Bicerin

Bicerin is a historic drink from Turin, loved for its ability to combine intense flavors and different consistencies in a single taste experience. Born in the 18th century as an evolution of the bavareisa, another very popular hot drink, Bicerin has become over time a symbol of Turin and its culinary tradition. Perfect for the autumn months, when the need for a warm cuddle is felt, this autumn dessert stands out for its layering of flavors that combines coffee and chocolate with a soft milk cream.

To prepare it at home, here’s what you need:

• 4 cups of espresso
• 30 ml of milk
• 200 g of dark chocolate
• 50 g of fresh liquid cream
• 30 g of sugar

To prepare it, melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie with the milk until you obtain a dense and velvety consistency. In the meantime, prepare the espresso coffee, whose intense aroma will blend perfectly with the chocolate. Whip the cream until you obtain a light and soft consistency. At this point, you can compose the Bicerin in the glass: first pour the hot chocolate, then add the coffee and finally complete with a layer of whipped cream. A layered delight that, with its contrast of flavors and temperatures, will make you fall in love with autumn sip after sip.

Hazelnut Coffee

Hazelnut Coffee is a recipe from Campania that perfectly embodies the spirit of autumn, combining the depth and intensity of coffee with the velvety sweetness of hazelnuts. Created in the 90s in Salerno, in a period of great cultural and gastronomic ferment, this coffee has quickly become one of the most sought-after specialties in Italian coffee shops. It is a true comfort food, capable of enhancing the aroma of the roasted coffee while the hazelnuts add a creamy and enveloping touch.

Ingredients:

• 40 g of peeled hazelnuts
• 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar
• Espresso or moka coffee
• Liquid cream

Prepare the hazelnut paste by chopping the hazelnuts with the powdered sugar until you obtain a creamy and fragrant mixture. Heat the cream until it becomes lukewarm and then add the hazelnut paste to create a mousse with a delicate and enveloping flavor. After preparing your favorite coffee (espresso or moka), mix everything in a cup. Let yourself be enveloped by this autumnal embrace, perfect for a relaxing break or a special end to a meal.

As with other ingredients, choosing a quality ground coffee is important, make sure you use one with a renowned taste and quality according to your tastes.

Spiced cinnamon coffee

Spiced cinnamon coffee is another must-have recipe for autumn. This aromatic drink combines the intense flavor of coffee with the sweet and slightly spicy touch of cinnamon, creating a perfect balance for those who love spicy notes and the comforting warmth of a steaming cup. Ideal for a cold afternoon or a cozy evening with the family.

Ingredients:

• Espresso or moka
• White sugar
• Cinnamon powder or cinnamon sticks

For the version with cinnamon powder, mix the sugar and cinnamon, then add it to the coffee in the moka for a more intense and enveloping flavor. If you prefer a more delicate aroma, boil some water with cinnamon sticks and use it to prepare the coffee. Each sip will transport you to an autumn forest, with the scent of falling leaves and spices in the air, offering a unique sensory experience.
