Fudge
frosting and
a cookie
This rich and fudgey-licious soft baked
cookie combines the flavors of Portillo's
moist chocolate cake with swirls, pops
and chunks of Portillo's iconic fudge frosting,
all baked into the perfect Milk Bar chocolate
cookie. Whether a fan of Portillo's legendary chocolate cake or
Milk Bar's decadent desserts, this chewy and decadent chocolate
creation is sure to satiate any sweet tooth.
" Portillo's world-famous, homemade chocolate cake is iconic, "
says Garrett Kern, Portillo's vice president of strategy and culinary.
" This delicious dessert has been a staple on our menu for decades,
and when we were given the chance to collaborate with the fantastic
Christina Tosi and Milk Bar, we knew we had the ultimate
opportunity to transform our fan-favorite cake into hand-held treats
Portillo's, Milk Bar and chocolate lovers everywhere could enjoy. "
The limited-edition, individually wrapped Portillo's Chocolate
Cake Cookie will be available for purchase inside all Portillo's
restaurants with dining rooms via the grab-and-go display. In addition,
a six-count Cookie Tin is available for nationwide shipping at
MilkBarStore.com, while supplies last.
" Famous for very good reason, there is perhaps no greater
restaurant dessert idol than Portillo's Chocolate Cake- plump, rich,
soft, understated yet an absolute home run. A celebration any and
every day of the week. Both the chef and the home baker in me look
to this perfect specimen whenever I get into the kitchen to create
something that will move people, start legendary rumors, stand the
test of time, " Tosi says. " It is one of the coolest moments of our
careers to bake a love letter to this icon through the lens of a Milk
Bar Cookie - dense and fudgy, yet flirtatiously cakey with pops of
chocolate frosting drops. "
