What is a good vegan brunch dish that can be served cold?

I offered to bring a brunch dish to my mother-in-law's Easter party, and I usually try not to bring anything that will need space in her oven to warm up. What would you suggest? I prefer that it be something sweet, but I'll take any suggestion.

Biscuits and chocolate gravy! You will want to warm the gravy before serving, but you can just heat it for about 20-30 seconds in the microwave. The biscuits can be warmed in the microwave before serving too if desired."Buttermilk" BiscuitsMix and set aside to curdle:1 cup very cold soymilk or almond milk1 tsp vinegarMix together:1 cup all-purpose flour1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour2 1/2 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp baking soda1/2 tsp saltAdd to this:5 tbsp transfat-free vegetable shortening (like Crisco) or very cold vegan "butter" like Earth Balance, chopped into small cubes.With a fork or a pastry-cutter, mix the fat into the flour until you have a coarse mixture with no large pieces of fat. If using "butter," work quickly because you don't want the fat to melt.Now add the curdled soymilk-vinegar mixture and mix quickly until the dough comes together.Make a ball of the dough, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.Now take the dough and roll it into about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter to cut the biscuits.Place the biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet.Reroll any leftover scraps of dough to cut more biscuits from it.Brush the tops of the biscuits with a mixture of 1 tbsp soy milk and 1 tbsp canola or other vegetable oil for a nice, golden-brown glaze. Leave about 1 inch space between each: don't overcrowd.Bake the biscuits in a preheated 450-degree oven 10-12 minutes.Cool on a baking rack.--------------Chocolate Gravy1 cup granulated sugar (beet sugar if you're concerned of bone char)1 tablespoon butter flavor vegan margarine (like smart balance buttery spread)1 1/2 cups soy or almond milk2 tablespoons flour3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powderDirectionsMix all the dry ingredients in a heavy saucepan with a whisk. Using a whisk blends everything better than a spoon. Stir in the milk. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly (this is important because it can burn QUICKLY). Remove the pot when the mixture thickens a bit. Add the margarine and stir in until completely melted. Serve over biscuits.
