Though I have made this many times I don't have any pix of it.  It looks similar to clafoutis.

Semifreddo (pronounced [ˌsemiˈfreddo], Italian: half cold) is a class of semi-frozen desserts. The principal ingredients are usually eggs, sugar and cream. It has the texture of frozen mousse. 

Looooong time lurker, and once upon a time active member here... finally wanted to join the fun, and can't even upload my image ugghhh..

please don't say sachertorte --

Then just enjoy the view:

i have a T dessert from my country of origin!! 

Turon (Tagalog pronunciation: [tuˈɾɔn]; Spanish: turrón de banana or turrón de plátano), also known as lumpiyang saging (Filipino for banana lumpia), is a Philippine snack made of thinly sliced bananas (preferably saba or Cardaba bananas) and a slice of jackfruit, dusted with brown sugar, rolled in a spring roll wrapper and fried. Other fillings can also be used, including sweet potato, mango, cheddar cheese and coconut.

Still won't let me upload the photo :( and yes, i am uploading the image from my personal computer and not from my mobile device. 

ooohh... i am drooling just looking at these desserts!!!!!

Actually as I look at the pic I choose to post for Strudel it doesn't look like what I knew as strudel.  The  pictured one looks like any type of bready-ey dough w/fruit filling.  What I was raised on was more like crispy *VERY THIN* layers & layers of phylo type dough w/a light layer of fruit.  

Oooooh, @mattyeatscakes ‍ Turon is so good! I've only had the banana ones.

U is for Upside Down Cake. Do I get extra points because I actually just made this one? It's Mango Orange.

speaking of crispy thin strudel -- I have a picture of strudel dough so thin you can read the paper through it -- I tried to just post the one photo but i'm on my tablet and it's got a mind of its own -- here's the whole little strudel story -- scroll down about a dozen quick pictures

@Pastrybaglady ‍ that looks delicious!  I've never had that combo but it sure sounds good!  I think you deserve bonus points :-) 

Hey pastry:  You will get a million points if you send one to me!  Like others, I've not had a mango one but it sure does sound delish!

@kakeladi ‍ It was good but not mango enough! I think I need to slice the mangos thicker and it needs some acid in the syrup, but it was very nice. I got inspiration from a recipe on Pinterest. I used my own cake recipe added orange juice and zest and of course the mango on top.

A vol-au-vent (pronounced [vɔlovɑ̃], French for "windblown", to describe its lightness) is a small hollow case of puff pastry. Vols-au-vent are typically made by cutting two circles in rolled out puff pastry, cutting a hole in one of them, then stacking the ring-shaped piece on top of the disc-shaped piece.[1] This pastry is usually found filled with savory ingredients, but can also have a sweet filling.  I've made these filled with Creamed Chicken and Creamed Peas, but I'll bet would be really good with a custard filling.  

kakeladi - Love your method of making strudel.  While on your blog I noticed your  'chapple' chutney.  I love chutneys and will make this one soon.  

 whoops - the strudel and chutney belong to k8memphis, not kakeladi ---  sorry k8. 

Wow k8! The thinness of that dough is impressive. 

Now for the dessert by W...  The only things I can think of are not really on the exotic side!

Nana52  I wish I had found that site.  It's exactly as I remember as a small child when my family made strudel.  My  goodness, that was some 70 yrs ago and I can remember it as if it were yesterday!!  Thanks to all for the trip down memory lane :)
