What Are Your Favorite Easy-To-Make Desserts?

To me, ending dinner without dessert is like...ending a sentence with a period. It's practical, of course, but who wants to be practical? Ending a meal with dessert, on the other hand, is like ending a sentence with an exclamation point!

It's fun! And friendly! And enthusiastic! Yay!

I just...I love dessert. But I don't love most dessert recipes, because some of them are super overwhelming.

They'll read: "Combine your sugar, which should be 10 degrees Fahrenheit, with your egg whites, which should have been whisked at 2 degrees Celsius. Add in the ancient grains, and by 'ancient,' we also mean 'fresh.' They're 'fresh ancient.' Don't ask." Etc., etc.

Maybe it's something like this beautifully straightforward Banana Foster recipe from Reddit:
