Delicious Italian-Inspired Dessert Recipe for Your Next Food Day at Work!

In summary, the most popular Italian dessert recipe is tiramisu, a layered dessert made with ladyfingers, coffee, liqueur, and a sweet mascarpone cheese mixture. There are also many traditional Italian desserts that are easy to make, such as panna cotta and cannoli. It is possible to substitute ingredients in traditional Italian dessert recipes, but this may alter the final dish's flavor and texture. There are also many gluten-free Italian dessert options, including flourless chocolate cake and gelato. Many Italian desserts can be made ahead of time and benefit from being made a day in advance, such as tiramisu.

Does anyone know of a good dessert recipe that is at least somewhat italian inspired? We decided to do a "Food Day" at work and I was in charge of coordinating it. We have 4 people bringing in food. Someone is making a goulash and someone is bringing bread and a salad. I was going to bring a dessert.

My issue is I want something that will go well with that but we have picky eaters. Myself included but I don't care if I won't eat it. However it can't have nuts (allergy) or cheese or supposedly milk or cream but that is debatable if it's chocolate or something. Some things I could hide from the super picky non cheese or dairy eater.

Any suggestions are appreciated and while I'd prefer a PC recipe for advertisement it doesn't need to be. Thanks!!
 
what about a lemon sorbet or a type of italian cookie
biscotti and a good coffee
tiramisu comes to mind but then you have the ingredient issue
 
You could make a Tiramisu trifle. Just use cool whip (made with oil) and mix with pudding (made with soy milk), lady fingers dipped in Coffee, and shaved chocolate.
