I always found fruit en pappillotte went down very well in the restaurant I cheffed in.
Take whatever fruit is in season and chop. Add appropriate seasoning - for instance rhubarb is in season at the moment nd goes wonderfully with lime and ginger, apple with raisins and spices (you can get some lovely moscatel raisins on the vine form speciallist supplier), or look for the very first berries coming through and do them with some black pepper. Add some balsamic and a good shake of icing (confectioners) sugar. Put a good dessertspoon of the (raw) fruit mixture into a square of greasproof paper. Either fold or I like to tie mine up with string like old fashioned 'money bags'. Bake in the oven for twenty minutes. The diner opens the bag and releases the lovely fruity, spicy aroma.
In winter I serve these with a toffee sauce and ice-cream/chantilly cream but a lghter summer style dessert benefits from a citrus sauce and some tuille biscuits.

This is simple and quick, but is very unique and has an amazing depth of flavor. It is phenomenal.
Maui Madness
1/3 cup macadamia nuts -- coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 slices fresh pineapple
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pint coffee ice cream
Lightly toast the nuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring, until they are golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Immediately remove from skillet to prevent burning.
Melt the butter in a medium skillet and cook the pineapple over medium heat, turning once, until tinged with gold, about 2 minutes per side. Stir in the molasses and simmer, spooning the sauce over the fruit, for 3 minutes. Transfer the pineapple to 4 shallow dessert bowls.
Add the rum and lemon juice to the skillet and simmer, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Place a scoop of the ice cream on each pineapple slice. Spoon the sauce over the ice cream. Sprinkle with the nuts and serve immediately.
4 servings

Torta della nonna, its an amazing lemon dessert that is great for cleansing the palate and looks really impressive too. Its from my Marks & spencer cook book. Search online you might be able to find the recipe.

Unbaked cheesecake; a layer cake, unbaked cookies, some kind of 'flamed' dessert would be quick to make (cherries jubilee or bananas foster)
