While not nearly as sweet as bananas, plantains do have a sweet flavor. In this soup we keep that sweetness at bay by using firm plantains with green skins rather than riper brown-skinned ones--the sugars will have not yet developed, so the fruit will add starchy body to the soup without too much sweetness.
A cool cocktail translated into a refreshingly zesty dessert. This silken treat has mojito flavors but no alcohol, so it's really more mocktail than cocktail.
Multiple layers of texture and flavor make this dessert unique. A crisp cloud of meringue serves as a base for creamy pudding topped with fresh, juicy berries.
Give a classic dessert a twist and you've got a smart breakfast option: cottage cheese, crunchy almond cereal and sweet peaches top a waffle. Waking up never tasted so good.
This homemade pudding in this layered dessert is divine, economical, and uses on-hand staples such as milk, eggs, flour, sugar and bananas. The peanut butter sandwich cookies take this trifle over the top.
This frozen dessert requires no ice-cream maker--just freeze the mixture in a pan, and scrape with a fork. If you'd like to spruce up the granita, top with chopped or halved fresh strawberries and grated lemon zest.

Whole strawberries are dipped once in melted semi-sweet chocolate and a second time in chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs for a simple, yet elegant, dessert.
No need for specialty ingredients to make this Italian dessert. Reduced-fat cream cheese and whipped topping make it easy to prepare and under 200 calories per serving.
A rich, chocolaty brownie crust is a perfect partner to refreshing peppermint ice cream. Holiday guests have come to expect this make-ahead dessert.—Carol Gillespie, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania
