Don't limit this should-be-sinful dip for the fruits listed - it works like a dream with anything that's fresh and in season. Kahlua comes from Mexico, so swapping mango for the apple would add a great, south of the border flair. A liqueur made of rum, sugar, vanilla, and coffee, Kahlua goes great with chocolate, and makes a delicious sauce for grown ups in a quick 20 minutes or so. You could keep the sauce for a couple of days, refrigerated, and warm it slightly to serve, though they'll likely be little leftover - you'll want to slurp up every rich bite!
