Chocolate Tortino With a Melted Heart
The Tortino al Cioccolato, chocolate tortino, souffle, or lava cake are synonyms of warm chocolatey goodness in the form of a small chocolate cake with a moist and liquid chocolate center. The most interesting part is when you crack into the center and you see the liquid chocolate oozing out into the plate.
