Chai Chocolate Lava Cake

Jump to recipe...


Recipe blurb goes here….. I know it’s not really soup season, but I LOVE soup all year long. If you know me or have Hello everyone, I’m BACK!!!! Hope you all didn’t miss me too much😜 If you follow me on Instagram you may know that I just had my second son, he is one month old! We are so very obsessed with our little bundle of joy. While I did enjoy my time recovering and hanging out with the kids, I really missed being in the kitchen. With Diwali being right around the corner, I thought I would post a dessert recipe for you all to enjoy!

I have tried and tested this recipe MONTHS ago… but I never took the time out to remake it and photograph it. I finally did it though, I’m so happy with the turn out. It is seriously SO delicious. Serve it with malai kulfi ice cream or plain old vanilla and it is TO DIE FOR. Please take my word for it and make this, you will not regret it.

I have used The chai box all chai’d up for my chai element. if you don’t want to purchase that then simply just add 1 tsp of the chai masala to the chocolate. Although I highly recommend their chais. It is seriously sooooo good and fragrant. It’s owned by a South Asian woman who is so passionate about her chai.

I’m wishing you all a VERY happy and healthy Diwali. I hope its filled with lots of love, family, and FOOD!

As always stay happy, stay hungry!
