Dessert time with Shivesh Bhatia: Chocolate Chip Pizookie

Pizookie, c’mon say it with us- Pizookie! Doesn’t it sound divine?! Our first pizookie ever was in a restaurant in USA called, BJs (yes, we all had a good laugh over that). It’s basically a giant gooey cookie, more pizza sized than biscuit sized, topped off with ice cream and a sinful chocolate sauce- things happy dreams are made of! When we tried Shivesh’s  recipe- OMG mind blown! And the loving souls that we are we just had to share it with you. Are you ready?
