Pots & Co’s Perfect Lava Cake in a Ceramic Pot
Chocolate Fudge Lava Cakes by Pots & Co
Even the name and logo of the Chocolate Fudge Lava Cakes is eye catching, and that little pot in the picture actually is ceramic with a pop-off plastic lid. There are four pots in each box. We were drawn in the minute we saw the endearing pot and gooey chocolate. You simple pop it in the micro for a few seconds or in a proper oven for 14 or so minutes and you have a whimsical, lush restaurant quality dessert.
For our test run of Pots & Co (the minute the box arrived) we added natural honey, homemade yogurt and raspberries
Pots & Co uses uncompromising, hand-crafted in small batches, using culinary techniques developed by a restaurant chef for a restaurant quality dessert. And you can taste quality and the best ingredients in every bite, with absolutely nothing artificial in these reusable ceramic pots.

A casual ring of strawberries and rough-chop hazelnuts adds another dimension to the Pots & Co decadent dish.
The review of a very discriminating food writer of Pots & Co!
Pots & Co all started back in 2012. Restaurant chef Julian Dyer, who wanted to take exceptional puddings out of restaurants and into homes, also “wanted to escape the restaurant world. Dyer began hand-making exceptional pots and adding exceptional ingredients with the goal of restaurant quality desserts for the home. We here feel that if a savory meal is perfect, you do not need a dessert. Julian felt that, “a proper dessert should steal the meal. He continued to hand-make and steam-bake the pots in their individual ceramic pots, “from our kitchen in London,” as he put it. “That way, we know you’ll get a perfect pot, every time.”
Chef-owner Julian Dyer who created the Chocolate Pots
Are the time he was standing in a lemon dessert factory and there wasn’t a fresh lemon in sight. I’m a chef – this didn’t make sense. So I started making potted desserts using top ingredients. And topped himself with the chocolate lava cake in the little ceramic pot.
Inspired by the best in the world, this six-year-old London based company already has a global reach selling millions of pots around the world. Pots & Co has launched in lots of European countries as well as the USA. You can purchase the pots at a special price this month at COSTCO.
The Pots & Co lava cake desserts feel as whimsical as Miss Flora where and would be perfect at her tea party
Recipes are written and perfected by top restaurant chefs, using only the finest ingredients – like Cornish sea salt, Alphonso mangoes and our sustainable Colombian cocoa. The company has expanded from lava cakes although that is the mainstay in most countries, and in the US, currently. Take a look here to see the wide range of fresh & delicious desserts that we also make.
Companies that we sell to around the world. And if you cross ‘the pond’ on a BA flight you might have tasted our chocolate pots on a BA flight!
Chocolate desserts are all handmade with top cocoa, grown in Colombia. The company’s friends at The Chocolate Dream support farmers and their communities, making sure the cocoa is grown as ethically and fairly as possible. Their goal is to make chocolate a tool for positive social change by improving infrastructure, providing a proper education and supporting local culture. We work with them because our goal isn’t only to make exceptional desserts – it’s also to make the world a little bit better.
