Go to the neighbor's and borrow their oven? Seriously, you
are posting a good question!

Hi Kili,

I thought of asking my neighbor but she works all day and I
don't feel comfortable to use her oven when she's not home
or to use it at night after she gets home, she's tired & I
don't want to bother her.

I've made lemon curd [censored] with blueberries using store-
bought graham cracker crust [censored]. If you want it really
easy, mix a jar of lemon curd with a small tub of
mascarpone cheese, then spoon into the [censored] and top with
blueberries (optional, of course). Very easy and tasty.
Tastes even better when you make the lemon curd yourself.
Lemon-flavoured desserts are very Easter-y, right? It's
something you'd have to keep it cool/chilled during the
ride somehow, though.

How about a key lime pie? It's quick and easy, and there is
a no-bake version that doesn't use eggs (though I think it
loses something in texture and consistency, it's still
pretty good).

You can find a recipe here:

Fruit salad is good, if you can keep it chilled. I would
probably pick up some desserts at a bakery.

Assemble the ingredients for a flan...or do a trifle.
probably spelled that wrong...you know that crumbled cake
squares, custard, sliced fresh fruits, booze (optional),
whipped cream dealie layered in a very high sided
glass/plastic bowl. break a cake up, brush with booze put in
bowl next comes a layer of custard, then sliced fruit
(macerated strawberries, kiwi,rasberries... whatever)then
whipped cream repeat as necessary...some recipes call for a
layer of jello as well.

both flan cakes and trifle cake can be purchased cakes.
Both dishes would travel well if chilled and assembled
on arrival.

A pound cake with melted apricot jam as a sauce served on
top of ice cream. Toasted Cake works best.

I posted a dreamsicle pie recipe...takes less than 15
minutes to make but needs at least 4 hrs in a fridge to set
up a while ago in 2002 or 2003.

Wow, that really limits you, eh? I mean, a no bake, non
frozen dessert...hmmm....

How about making a pie that uses a cookie crums or graham
crust? Banana cream or coconut cream maybe? One really good
one that my sister makes is a graham crust, brushed with
chocolate on the bottom and filled with coconut custard,
then topped with toasted coconut. A good cooler is all you'd
need to get it there in good shape. You can also do it in a
rectangular pan to make it fit the cooler better.

Otherwise...there's always a good fruit salad!

Make a cheesecake (non-baked of course) and use a crushed
nut-crust.

Alternatively make a jumbo batch of rumballs...

When you get to town pick up some strawberries, whipping
cream and some sort of cake (pound, angel or plain spong)
and make strawberry shortcake. Bring a box of chocolates to
round out the sweets.

Banana pudding, if you can keep it chilled during the drive.

Rice crispie treats -- quick, simple and one of those
childhood goodies that's still really good.

Does your stovetop and electric mixer still work? Make some
divinity candy.

I keep thinking, don't they have a good bakery somewhere
between your place and theirs? At any rate, how about a
homemade chocolate cream pie, not the kind with the
chocolate jello pudding mix, but real. You can put the
whipped cream on when you get there.

If you remember to take the pie off the roof of the car
after unlocking the car door...and not drive away with the
pie on the car roof.
