Bicerin (pronounced [bit? e'ri?] in Piedmontese) is a traditional warm drink native to Turin, Italy made of espresso, drinking chocolate, and milk served in layers in small round glasses. In the United States, heavy cream can be used instead of milk.
In 2001 bicerin was recognized as a "traditional Piedmont product" in the official bulletin of the Piedmont region.

Origin
The word bicerin is the Piedmont language for "small glass" and is a clear Italian dialect version of bicchierino (small from bicchiere , "glass").
This drink has been known since the 18th century and was also praised by Alexandre Dumas in 1852. It is believed to be based on a 17th century drink Bavareisa : the main difference is that in a bicerin three components of caution plated in glass rather than mixed together.
CaffÃÆ'¨ al Bicerin, a historic coffee shop in Turin, has been serving drinks at piazza della Consolata in Turin since the 18th century, just opposite Santuario della Consolata, and some experts believe the drink was found there. The others believe that it originated around 1704 in CaffÃÆ'¨ Fiorio, who still stands on what is now through Po.
