There's an Indian carrot pudding with cardamom and a name I can't remember that goes on the list too. That would be halva. From Wikipedia: "Halva may also be made from a variety of other ingredients, including sunflower seeds, various nuts, beans, lentils, and vegetables-such as carrots, pumpkins, yams, and squashes."

After having lunch at a Japanese restaurant yesterday, it occurred to me that tempura sweet potatoes (that I like a lot!) or even squash are quite sweet and would make good desserts. Sweet potatoes (especially purple yam) *are* eaten as desserts in Asia. I'm guessing you could substitute sweet potatoes for the pumpkin in this recipe and it would turn out fine: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/reci..._12908,00.html Bob

There is a recipe somewhere for pie made from avocados. This one is intriguing. I imagine it could be related to shoo-fly or buttermilk pie, very creamy and with that slight avocado flavor. A quick google yields this: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Avocado-Pie/Detail.aspx http://whatscookingamerica.net/Fruit/AvocadoPie.htm http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/rec...Pie62862.shtml ....and a memory of Alton Brown's outlandish avocado dessert treatments yields this: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/reci..._12908,00.html http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/reci..._32238,00.html Bob

sweet potato pie is still a much desired dessert in the south.
