Eatingwell.com has tons of recipes that use fruit as the base. Think of the fruit as the cake, ice cream, or cookie and then add toppings or cook. You can almost trick yourself into thinking it’s a real dessert. I loooove this Cocoa-Nut Bananas recipe that has you roll bananas in cocoa powder and then add toasted coconut.
You get the idea, though. You can add cinnamon and raisins to baked apples or pears, chocolate or caramel to bananas, cinnamon and cloves to oranges, etc. Get creative. Return fruit to its rightful place as an excellent end to a meal!
