The Only Thing Better Than Restaurant Chocolate Lava Cake? One You Can Actually Eat 😉
Perfect for Valentine’s Day— rich, gooey, dairy-free, and way more fun to make at home!
Valentine’s Day dining out when you’re dairy-free?
Let me paint you a picture: scanning menus in advance, having that awkward conversation with the waiter about ingredients, and watching your other half dive into a cream-laden dessert while you sip your coffee. Not exactly the romantic evening you had in mind, right?
That’s why I’m staying home for Valentine’s this year.
I’m going to create that fancy restaurant magic right in my own kitchen. Because nothing says ‘I love you’ (or ‘I love me’ - self-care counts!) like an incredible homemade dessert that’s both impressive AND safe to eat.

These lava cakes are:
perfectly gooey in the middle
really easy to make
