Ingredients
In the adaptation of Sanguinaccio to Northeastern American cuisine, the traditional Italian recipe has been modified to suit the local taste preferences and ingredient availability. The original recipe typically uses pig's blood as a key ingredient, but due to cultural differences and regulations, this ingredient has been substituted with other ingredients to maintain the essence of the dish. The Northeastern American version of Sanguinaccio retains the rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture, while incorporating familiar spices and sweeteners commonly found in the region.
