Davide Oldani, one of the most exciting Italian chefs and one of the great Cacao Barry Ambassadors is sharing with us his indulgent recipe inspired by the Cacao Barry's Ocoa chocolate. Enjoy!
The Barbajada (also italianized as Barbagliata) was a popular Milanese sweet frothy drink in the 19th century and the early decades of the 20th century. It was made with whipped chocolate, milk and coffee in equal parts, along with any amount of sugar, and possibly topped with cream. It was served warm in hot summer and cool in cold winter, usually to accompany desserts such as the Panettone or other Milanese delicacies. Chef Davide Oldani was inspired by this drink when creating his dessert which recipe we are sharing.
