• Heat the coconut cream and heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate until melted and smooth. Stir in the lime zest. Set aside. (The vanilla butter and chocolate sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead, refrigerated, and reheated before grilling.)
• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling. Prepare an outdoor grill with a low-medium fire.
• Prepare the fruit for the skewers, cutting the fruit into 2-inch chunks. Thread the fruit onto 8 (8-inch) skewers, alternating the mango and papaya. Brush lightly with some of the vanilla butter. Grill the fruit until lightly charred but not mushy, turning as needed, about 5 minutes per side. Pool about 2 tablespoons chocolate sauce on each of 4 plates, arrange 2 skewers on each plate, and drizzle with a bit of vanilla butter.

QUICK N' EASY FRUIT CREPES

Steps:

• Spray non-stick on pan, and heat on medium heat.
• Combine all ingredients in a measuring cup.
• When pan is ready (water droplets thrown on it should sizzle), pour on crepe batter until desired size. (Swivel the pan a little to spread out the batter a bit).
• Once the edges have changed colour and firmed up, flip the crepe and leave on the other side for about 10 seconds.
• Cover with fruit topping and whipped cream.
• Fruit Topping Suggestion: Combine frozen fruit in pot with water and sugar (You can use fresh fruit too, I just happen to have a lot of frozen fruit handy.).
• Heat on medium high heat (while you are making the crepes).
• When it's heated you can either leave as is or puree it.

FRESH FRUIT KEBABS

Steps:

• Put the cut up bananas in a medium bowl. Combine the orange juice with the bananas and gently toss a couple of times to coat bananas.
• This method should keep bananas from turning brown.
• Take a wooden skewer and thread your fruit on.
• *To enhance the sweetness of the strawberries, instead of using whole strawberries, cut each one in half place in a medium bowl and add a wee bit of sugar and toss around.
• Method 2.
• Add about 5 large tbsp of apple jelly to a small saucepan and stir over a medium jelly, until it because less lumpy, let cool.
• Slice bananas and coat with apple jelly.
• Slice strawberries and cut in half and coat with either sugar or apple jelly.
• Slice the rest of the fruit and set aside.
• Stick the fruit on the skewers.
• Enjoy!
