I’ve been running around town all day taking care of last-minute errands and hunting down stocking stuffer gifts for the holiday festivities later this week. I know you guys are busy too, so I promise I won’t keep you long. I just have to share this awesome indulgent dessert with you!
I’ve made this flourless chocolate cake three times over the last few weeks and it’s been a hit every single time! It’s super quick to whip up and is a guaranteed crowd pleaser!
Serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream or sweetened cream or make it up to a day ahead and sprinkle some powdered sugar on top — you’ve got yourself a keeper. Now you can stop worrying about dessert, you’ve totally got this. And yes, it will even wow the in-laws!
