Ten years ago Bob and Melinda Blanchard packed their bags, moved to the island of Anguilla in the Caribbean, opened a terrific restaurant — and wrote two books. "At Blanchard's Table" is filled with great recipes and "A Trip to the Beach” chronicles their adventures learning to live on "island time." The Blanchards were invited on the “Today” show to share some of their secrets for delicious desserts. Check out their recipes here:

--------------------------------------------------------------When we considered including this recipe in our first book, our editor asked gently, “Do you have anything else with a more appealing name?” She didn’t want to hurt our feelings but felt the name for this dessert was a bit unappealing. So, we substituted a luscious sounding recipe in its place. She’s right about the name, it wouldn’t win any prizes. But it’s actually quite an accurate description and it tastes so good we had to include it here. We’ve served it for years at the restaurant surrounded by Kahlua custard sauce.
