Here is what I did with the prunes, walnuts, onions and pomegranate seeds (plus dessicated coconut): Indian Barfi. So far I've tested these blind on three family members...

The plate is too busy.

Wow! Impressive work here.
In this case I think you get away with the busy plate because the centre is white - also the flowers almost echo the shapes of the dim sum and their 'creases'. Its a bold presentation but I think it works.

I have one idea to try...
I found a recipe that's unmistakably a dessert, and it uses onions:
This is a Caramelized Chocolate Onion Cake, and I have to admit I'm intrigued. But, I wonder if this is going to be a recipe where I say, great taste...except for the onion flavor.

Any guesses what I am going to make?

Let me just say that a little onion goes a long way!
Orange marmalade mixed with the last of the buttery cooked onion.
Pieces of the chocolate orange melted with a bit of cream.

If you didn't connect the date yesterday with the above..........
They were a filling for a pancake!
I saved some of the buttery onion from my baked apple.
I melted some of the orange chocolate slices with a bit of cream.
I mixed the cooked onion with the orange marmalade and heated it for a minute in the microwave. ( I did actually eat some of this on its own and it was quite nice!)
I put one chocolate slice on a hot pancake and rolled it up to melt it.
Then I unrolled it again and spread the chocolate out a bit, before adding the chocolate cream and the marmalade onion mixture..
I rerolled it and ate it all, stopping only for a photo before it was all gone.
Apologies for the inelegant presentation :

That looks good @Kake Lover
@Kake Lover, I'm one of those who can't abide chocolate oranges but I really have to admire your ingenuity!

I can't just eat them on their own.
