Passion Fruit Fool
There is something about the fragrant astringency of passion fruit, which when mixed with the bland, soft thickness of whipped heavy cream, makes one feel about as near to sensation heaven as it's possible to get at lunchtime.

Crêpes With Grilled Peaches and Apricots
Heat deepens the flavor of both peaches and apricots, and grilling adds one more seared dimension. The trick here is to grill the fruit just until it colors and softens, but not to let it burn or collapse. I find that 3 minutes on one side is sufficient for peaches, and 2 minutes for apricots, with about 1 minute on the other side. Crêpes are easy to make if you use a nonstick crêpe pan, and great to have on hand for desserts like this one. Keep the six extra that this recipe yields in the freezer, and grill some more peaches and apricots next week.

Buckwheat Crêpes With Caramelized Apples
Buckwheat crêpes have wonderful earthy/nutty flavor. They are equally at home with a sweet or savory topping. If you have any caramelized apples left over, stir them into your yogurt for breakfast.

Forget-It Meringue Torte
Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Prepare your meringue. Place it in your oven, turn it off, and head to bed. (Make sure not to peek!) In the morning, you’ll have a pavlova. Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey brought this clever recipe, Molly Chappellet, an owner of Chappellet Vineyards, to The Times in 1978, and Amanda Hesser rehashed it in 2006. It’s a perfect casual dessert for a dinner party, especially if the day before looks busy. Serve it with the raspberry sauce, as suggested, to cut through any sweetness.

Sesame Coconut Bars
These heavenly bars are inspired by a much heavier sweet that I used to make at the dawn of my cooking: Sesame Dream Bars, from “Diet for a Small Planet” by Frances Moore Lappé. Coarsely grind the sesame seeds by pulsing them a few times in a food processor. Do not overprocess or you’ll get butter; some whole seeds are fine.

Banana Pudding With Pistachio Crumble
This banana pudding is not the usual vanilla-wafer-topped affair, and it doesn’t come from the South. It came to The Times in 2013 from Fedora, a restaurant in Manhattan, and it is divine: a rich, creamy custard fragrant with puréed ripe banana, topped with lightly salted, crisp crumbles of pistachio butter cookie. It is also irresistible — sweet, creamy, salty, crunchy — and all too easy to lap up. The pudding and crumble can be made entirely in advance (up to three days), though don’t sprinkle the crumbs over the top until you're ready to serve. You want to maintain the crunch for as long as possible, and once the cookie meets the pudding, the countdown begins.
