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.

The bakery itself is not kosher, but Silver Spoon, er, Silver Moon does seasonal baked goods, including kosher for Passover. I've often asked if they have an extra of something that looked good during a holiday season, and have always been able to get the thing in question.

Also, the top-notch bakery in my old neighborhood would have racks full. Worth the trip, in my opinion. I go out there from time to time for their rugelach. It's that good. 410 Marcy Ave., Brooklyn.

J train to Lorimer, or G to Flushing (much closer).
