Yeah, fruit. Especially if they’ve been getting a lot of cakes and cookies. I like @jca‘s idea. It sounds really good. And easy.
You know that easy, non-bake recipe for cheese cake? Just add a ½ cup of passion fruit (Lilikoi) juice to it then artfully place some slices of guava, banana, or mango in a fan pattern on top. Lilikoi has a really great sweet-and-tart flavor. It’s much better than Key Lime pie and a lot of people don’t know what to do with Lilikoi, so many people have never had it. If they have fresh Lilikoi at your grocer, remember that the brown ones are sweeter/better. If they don’t carry it at your grocery, then you should be able to find it in a can.
It would be a nice tropical break after a long Indiana winter. Don’t forget to sprinkle coconut shavings on top. 2 eight-inch cheese cakes should easily serve 12. All you have to do is mix the stuff up and put it in the refrigerator for a few hours. Voila!

If your grocery doesn’t carry these exotic fruits, then Here’s a whole bunch of easy no-bake, fruity cheese cake recipes.
Edit: Don’t forget the graham cracker pie crust. You can either make it yourself in five minutes, or you can buy the aluminum pie pans with the crust already in them in the frozen section. That way you don’t have to worry about getting any of your pie pans back. You don’t have to go near an oven for any of this.
