Let’s face it. We all have that one favorite dessert when we visit Walt Disney World that we “just have to have!” That one dessert we think about often even when we are home – far, far, away from Disney. Every once in a while this dessert craving is made a thousand times worse by the fact that it’s a dessert that only shows up seasonally – heaven forbid! The Warm Chocolate Pudding Cake from the Ireland Marketplace at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is one of those desserts!
For those times you really start to crave this dessert, here’s the recipe. The rich cake with a gooey warm center debuted at the festival in 2005 with an Irish Whiskey Sauce, but the sauce has changed over the years, including this version with Kerrygold Irish Cream.
Be careful not to over bake so that the center remains molten. With a scoop of good vanilla ice cream, it’s worth every calorie. It’s also a good bit of work to create but it’s well worth it in the end!
