Ideas wanted: Passover desserts

[redbird]

My aunt called a couple of hours ago, confirmed that we'll be at the seder, and asked me to bring a dessert.

Now I need to think of something. cattitude pointed out the existence of suitable bakeries; the problem is that most of them have been taking pre-orders for weeks, and may or may not have anything available for someone who just learned that she needs to bring dessert to a seder, especially since they will be closed during the actual holiday. (A side point here is that this is for Friday, and I'd have to pick up any cake from a kosher bakery no later than Tuesday evening.)

I am looking for suggestions of either things that would be easy for me to prepare, or sources of suitable desserts that I (living and working in Manhattan) can get to. I will almost certainly try the place I normally get rye bread, tomorrow, but they may not have anything. I may also try Zabar's and/or Fairway, because what's to lose?

If possible, the dessert should be parve. It also needs to be something that I can transport sanely on a rush hour train Friday morning, that will survive without refrigeration for a few hours if necessary. (Yes, there is an office refrigerator; whether there will be space in it for a middle-sized box next Friday is a separate question.)

Addendum: If the recipe contains flour and you don't specifically know it's suitable for Passover, it almost certainly isn't. Also, while I may consider sorbet as a fallback, there's a perfectly good supermarket a block from my aunt's house, so if we want something along those lines, she can get it there.

I've found that pretty much any coffee cake can be made with matzah meal. (But I consider that cheating.)

My favorite, though, is Passover Gateau a l'Orange http://community.livejournal.com/kosher_cooking/42040.html made with blood oranges.

A few years back, mrissa posted a recipe for pear crisp, ont that long before Passover. I made it for the holiday, substituting matzo meal for oats and apples for pears (just because I had apples). It came out pretty good, though I'm sure it's better with oats.
