Here are some tropical dessert recipes that would be perfect for your party. Also be sure to check out this page from our About.com site to Entertaining for tips for Hosting a Luau. Bananas and Plantains I have to say it is rare not to find a bowl of bananas sitting on my kitchen counter. Besides being rich in potassium, they complete a bowl of cereal and make a wonderful afternoon snack. To me, plantains are bananas that are really green. My favorite way to have them is Sautéed. Coconut Just mention coconut and thoughts of nutty sweetness come to mind. The sweetness is from being a fruit and the texture is similar to eating a nut. Please enjoy these recipes made with this white tropical fruit called coconut. Pineapple Like bananas, I always have pineapple on hand. It's usually of the can variety, but I will occasionally treat my family to a fresh one. Pineapple has a sweet and tangy flavor especially this recipe for Double Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. Key Limes I don't know if key limes are considered tropical, but they seem like they should be to me. Just eating a bite of a Key Lime Pie conjures up visions of the tropics. You can almost feel those tropical breezes.
