What makes this perfectly sized portion of decadence so much better than any other chocolate dessert you might ask? Well firstly, it’s a creation by famed Chicago-based chef, Dudley Nieto, who has brought his Mexican palate and French technique to kitchens all over the United States, including The Taco Shop. The mix of bittersweet Mexican chocolate and cornmeal create the lush, melt in your mouth, texture that elicits a sigh from everyone who tries it.
