Candy Coating Frosting
I needed some frosting for some vanilla cupcakes I had made. I did not want to go out to the store for anything, so I used some items I had on hand. The result was a beautiful fluffy frosting, at first. When I put the remaining cupcakes in the refrigerator over night, the frosting turned into a hard shell. THAT was when it had the best taste.
Banana Pudding
This is an old-school banana pudding down to its bed of Nilla wafers, topped with a quilt of meringue, above a pudding that owes some hold to cornstarch. It is not in any way fancy, though the meringue has its moments. The peaks may weep a little, if you let the dessert sit for a while to draw admiring glances from your guests, but no matter. It's fantastic inside, where it counts.
Lavender Pudding
For a vegan version, substitute whole milk with almond milk
Fresh nectarines marinated in lavender infused coconut milk

The Joy Kitchen's Roasted Cantaloupe
Next time you find yourself resenting a bad, watery cantaloupe, cut it up and roast it. The cubes collapse slightly, having lost some of their water weight. What's left is sweeter, more complex and jewel-like, with lightly singed edges. Eat it as is, put it on top of your yogurt, granola, or buttery cakes, or puree it into popsicles. Adapted slightly from The Joy Kitchen.

Blueberry Fool with Yogurt
From Nigel Slater's Ripe (Ten Speed Press, 2012). Slater uses sugar; I prefer honey (and a tablespoon less). Use whichever appeals. He also suggests you chill the fool for an hour before serving; in case you don't have the time or patience, I've eaten it almost immediately after making and found it still irresistible.
Peach Tart
A delicious and light summer dessert or can also be served as a sweet canapé.
Flans with Muscovado Sauce
These are almost too easy! Forget about caramelizing sugar for the molds. Just press some flavorful raw sugar into the bottom of each dish, and pour the flan mixture on top. The sugar dissolves into a sauce when the flans are chilled. Adapted from Sinfully Easy Delicious Desserts by Alice Medrich (Artisan, 2012)

This is an anytime, any season pantry frozen treat -- no ice cream machine required.
