Pineapple and Banana Couscous Pudding

Couscous is a staple of the Moroccan table. This dessert version is similar to rice pudding. Cream of coconut adds extra flavor.

Chocolate and Coconut Cream Fondue

Biscotti would be great for dipping, too.

Banana Clafouti

(Baked Banana Pudding) Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Fruit Salad with Honey and Rum

Add a splash of Angostura bitters, a flavoring found in the supermarket's liquor section, for an intriguing spicy note.

Sopaipilla Ice Cream Sundaes

Sopaipillas are crisp fried breads traditionally topped with honey; cinnamon and sugar are sometimes added to make a great dessert. In this recipe, fried tortillas approximate the texture of true sopaipillas.

Banana-Caramel Bliss

Macadamia nuts give these fantastic sundaes even more flavor, as well as some satisfying crunch.

Banana Pineapple Ice Cream Peterson

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Fruit Salad Buffet

An added pleasure of this salad lunch is that you can mix your own. Take a large tray and line it with grape leaves or large flat leaves of leaf lettuce. In the center place a shallow dish piled high with heart leaves of lettuce, watercress and spikes of French endive. Around this dish, on the grape leaves, arrange fruits according to your liking, such as:

Fried Banana Ravioli with Vanilla Custard Sauce

This is a dessert version of classic fried savory ravioli, dressed up with custard sauce.

Grilled Bananas with Rum Ice Cream and Mexican Hot Chocolate Sauce

This dessert is easy to make on a cleaned rack after grilling a main course.

Individual Raspberry and Banana Trifles

The classic Passover sponge cake transformed: Here it's layered with raspberry sauce, lemon custard and sliced bananas.

Bittersweet Chocolate-Orange Fondue

Grand Marnier and grated orange peel add a touch of elegance to this simple indulgence. Prepare the fondue just before serving, and keep it warm while dipping so that it will remain smooth. Use a traditional fondue pot, or place the pan of the fondue on an electric hot plate. Either way, be sure the heat is low; too much heat will cause the chocolate to burn. Angel food cake, pound cake and a variety of fresh and dried fruits make great accompaniments.
