No need to dig through the takeout menus tonight — you can add an exotic twist to dinner in less time than it takes to choose, order, and wait it out. Warm up your taste buds with a spicy, Thai-inspired cocktail, then move on to the main event! After dinner, enjoy a 10-minute dessert (that would never make it home from the restaurant). It takes on the banana split in a whole new way; no one will be able to resist spooning into a bowl of this chocolatey chiller.
