MINI BAKED ALASKAS
We love it when a vintage recipe makes for a successful and delectable comeback. These little treats feature a divine chocolate cake, a little fruity jam and any ice cream flavor your heart desires. Enrobe them in a fluffy cloud of meringue, then light your torch. We make these brilliant bronzed beauties in our What Would Julia Do cooking class. They make for a big finish – Julia Child would be proud!Love everything vintage? Our 2022 Holiday Lookbook Vintage is all about retro recipes and cocktails. We revisited and reimagined each recipe and made them marvelously modern. Glam gastronomy. So, so good.
