“Pizookie” Lava Cake

February 15, 2017

This is what a chocolate lava cake looks like in the shape of a skillet cookie with salted caramel ice cream on top and thats exactly what I was shooting for…I love combining two beloved desserts into one glorious new creation especially when there’s lots of dark chocolate involved. If you’re a chocolate lover be sure to give this a thumbs up and share it with your fellow chocolate loving friends and family around you!
