Foodie February: Treat Yourself with a little "F"

I love desserts....sometimes a little too much.  I also love fruit.  The strange thing is I never have really combined the two together.  I came across this recipe online and it looks so yummy I just could help share it with you!  I do not know about you, but with the fruit that is used it brings me to a warm and happy place that has SUN and HEAT!!
