Chocolate, marshmallow creme and walnuts combine for a mouthwatering bite. The fantasy part is the time it takes: 25 minutes for your dessert dreams to come true.

I like to brush the interior of this sandwich with a mojo, a flavorful garlic-lime mixture. Because it’s not easy to find Cuban bread in my area, I use sub or bulky rolls, which acquire a crusty texture when pressed during cooking. If you have a panini grill, you can use it instead of pan-cooking the sandwiches.
Honeysuckle sorbet is the signature dish of Chef Bill Smith of Crook's Corner in Chapel Hill, NC. This unusual and intoxicating dessert is a fleeting treat.
