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