A Bit of Optimism

Revisited: How To Be A Friend with chef and entrepreneur Christina Tosi


Listen Later

Friends can help us get through life’s toughest moments. But a true friend remembers to smile about the good times. 

That’s why I wanted to revisit my conversation with the founder and CEO of Milk Bar, host of Netflix’s Bake Squad, and author of several cookbooks including Dessert Can Save the World, my dear friend Christina Tosi.

Christina is the type of friend I can trust with anything, someone I can cry with. Together we reflect on the art of asking for help and why sometimes all we need from a true friend is 8 minutes of their time.

This...is A Bit of Optimism.

By the way, I wanted to share Christina's recipe for making an Ice Cream Loaf. It's magic. 

You will need:

2 cups (1 pint) of softened ice cream

1 cup of self-rising flour

1 egg

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the melty ice cream, self-rising flour, and egg. Do not overmix.
  3. Pour the batter into loaf pan.
  4. Bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick clean. 

Enjoy.
