Scoop small scoops of ice cream into small tea cups or espresso cups. Ladle some of the hot chocolate over the ice cream and let the kids top with candy canes or gingersnaps if desired.

Just made a single serving of this with almond milk, 70% dark chocolate chips, raw cacao and peppermint gelato. My version of heaven in a mug! It’s like European drinking chocolate over ice cream. Delicious as always, Giada!
