I'm not the OP, but yum, I am so making this for Easter dinner at the in-laws!

Maybe brownies or bar cookies that you don't cut until Sunday (keep them in the pan to keep them fresher).

One great thing about cheesecake is that it freezes well. Make it, freeze is Thursday, Travel on Friday (with it in a cooler). When you get to upstate NY, it should be partially unfrozen. Put in refrigerator and it will be fine on Sunday.

My MIL has asked me to bring dessert to our family dinner on Sunday in upstate NY. I need to make it Friday night as we are driving up on Saturday. Any suggestions on a dessert that will still be good/fresh/tasty by Sunday afternoon?

Thanks for your help!
