Answer 4

One of the simplest desserts I've ever made is really very easy but quite good. Serve fresh or frozen fruit (sliced peaches, canteloupe, honeydew melon, berries, etc.) with ice cream or vanilla yogurt. You could also make shortcakes using either homemade or store bought cake bottoms. Just add fruit and whipped cream. Easy but delicious. And a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a couple of brownie pieces is very good too.

Answer 5

BANANAS FOSTER (for two)- In a frying pan, 1 tbsp Butter, 3 tbsp Brown sugar and one banana sliced length wise and halved. Cook on moderate heat adding rum and a pinch of cinnamon until bananas soften and the sauce begins to thicken (Caramelize). Remove from heat and serve over Vanilla ice cream (in large red wine glasses is nice) and serve immediately.
