Wowfulls Are Going to Be Your New Instagram Obsession

In case it’s news to you, the age of Instagram has brought with it some *seriously* intense dessert creations. Think freakshakes and cookie dough in a cone. But even though we might discover these dessert ideas on social media, they usually have very real roots at some hip dessert shop, often in New York, London, Hong Kong, or other foodie cities. And that’s precisely the case for “wowfulls,” a trendy new dessert idea borrowed from 1950s-era Hong Kong by a popular Manhattan restaurant titled after its namesake. And people on Instagram are going NUTS for wowfulls.
