STORY BEHIND THE DISH
I recreated this dish from a dessert I enjoyed at True Food Kitchen in Newport Beach. It was amazing at the time & I believe this recipe is very similar to the original.
MODIFICATIONS
You can top with any type of ice cream or whipped cream. Caramel sauce of any kind works great. Also a berry compote would pair well with this decadent dessert.
