Carrot cake with maybe an orange glaze?

Iced brownies, cookies, cupcakes or fruit pie.   I have a milk allergy, and avoid creme pies and pudding desserts.

@Belitawrote:

Panic time!  I "volunteered" to bring dessert to an Easter lunch - after I volunteered, I was told one of the guests is lactose intolerant.

Are there ANY desserts that I could possibly buy somewhere (at this point, price is no object) that is lactose free?

I really don't have time to make anything, but will, if that is my only option.

Any "easy" suggestions?

Please help me - I am begging you!!

Strawberry shortcake!   Anyone can ommit the whipped cream if they want to....good luck...

Thanks for the constructive replies.

Was out of town yesterday until about 7pm.  After getting home, made an apple pie using coconut oil in the crust (instead of butter).  Found the recipe online - was unsure how it would turn out, but was suprisingly good.

I did have trouble rolling the crust out, so I finally just "pressed" it into the pie pan; filled with apple filling and baked.  Turned out to be more of a crumb kind of crust, but was really good with the apples.  If I did it again, I may add a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon to the crust recipe for more of a struesel kind of flavor.

My nephew"s girlfriend is the one who is lactose intolerant, and she seemed genuinely pleased that I made that effort for her.

So thanks to you all again, and I will remember some of your suggestions.

(I also took a bowl of fruit!)
