Ming's delightful, whimsical fusion dessert. The coconut sorbet is posted here on Zaar. If need be, canned crushed pineapple in its own juice may be substituted for fresh. The sorbet, the compote and the cherries may all be prepared in advance.

This was a delightful twist on the classic banana split! The blue ginger ice cream was a unique and delicious flavor, and the Asian-inspired toppings were a perfect complement. I especially loved the toasted coconut and the mango chunks.
