Let us first put it out there that we love lava cake. Who doesn’t love warm cake with warm custard oozing from within? This dessert was a winner from the get-go and once someone decided to put Mao Shan Wang into a lava cake, we knew we’d found a champ. Mao Shan Wang custard flowing out of a moist cake, with creamy Mao Shan Wang gelato on the side. It doesn’t get much better than this.
