Not PP but if you just search for "Nigella chocolate olive oil cake" the recipe should come up on Nigella's site. I would absolutely recommend it. It is delicious!

If you do this one, consider putting the mixture in a food processor or blender to smooth out the texture. Crunchy pudding surprise otherwise.

This blog has a few options

Chia pudding

Oh She Glows blog has some yummy dessert recipes that fit your criteria if you don't want to go the baked fruit route. A fruit crisp/crumble with cgf oats, maple syrup or brown sugar, spices, and earth balance or coconut oil would be good too. You can make a little oat flour by whirling some oats in a food processor. A little almond meal or chopped nuts would also be good in the topping.

Baked apple with brown sugar and raisins

I usually do granita, even in the cold. The poached pear idea is good. Or do a quinoa based "rice" pudding made with coconut milk. Serve warm.

What about something like roasted apples or poached pears or something?

I'm making spicy red pepper coulis over polenta, a side of asparagus, green lentil and walnut salad. Stumped for dessert ideas - usually I would put out a sorbet from Talenti but the weather is so cold....
