Level of Difficulty Easy
desserts Our coffee-cinnamon accented chocolate sauce is a delicious complement to grilled fruit. It makes a wonderful ending to special summertime meals.

Ingredients
1 sprays cooking spray
1 tsp decaffeinated instant coffee powder
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon, or to taste (optional)
2/3 oz fat-free sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix, use half a 1.4 oz package
1 1/2 cup fat-free skim milk
2 large banana(s), cut into a total of 12 chunks
12 medium strawberries, hulled

Instructions
Coat grid of grill with cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium.
Combine coffee powder, cinnamon, pudding mix and milk in a tall pitcher. Blend with a whisk or immersion blender until mixture is frothy; set aside. (The mixture will firm up as it stands.)
Alternately thread 3 banana chunks and 3 strawberries onto each of 4 metal skewers. Grill skewers, turning once, just long enough so that grill marks appear on fruit, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Remove fruit from skewers and divide among 4 plates. Top each serving with about 1/4 cup of chocolate sauce.
Notes
When you can't grill outdoors, consider broiling the fruit instead.You can vary the taste of the sauce by adding a few drops of rum extract in place of the coffee powder, if desired.
