Recipe Tips

  • Vanilla-Coconut Mini "Cakes"

    Prepare as directed, omitting the espresso and substituting vanilla extract for the almond extract. Brush wafers with milk; frost and stack as directed. Garnish with 1-1/2 cups toasted sweetened flaked coconut instead of the almonds.

  • Size Wise
